As Marana’s population tops 50,000, officials of the booming suburb want voter approval of a new general plan they say balances growth with conservation and inner-city revitalization.
On Aug. 4, Marana voters will decide whether to adopt the new plan. It lays out a densely detailed, 192-page blueprint for how town government services including roads, parks, water and sewers will adapt to a population of 75,000 people by 2040. The town is required by state law to win voter approval of revisions to the plan every decade.
