TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN 9) — A major development project is now officially moving forward in Marana.
According to the Town of Marana, the Downtown development project, which would turn the area east of Main Street and north of Civic Center Drive into a mixed-use entertainment district, is back on track after the Arizona Supreme Court denied a petition for review.
In a media release, the town says a political action committee filed referendum petitions challenging a lease and development agreement between the town and Marana Urban LLC, to spearhead the project.
The town rejected the petitions and a decision that was upheld by Pima County Superior Court and the Arizona Court of Appeals.
"This is an exciting milestone for our community," said Town Manager Terry Rozema. "For years, we've heard from residents that they want a true gathering place where people can connect, dine, celebrate, and create memories.”
The project will now move into the design phase.
“Now we’ll take the next step toward delivering a one-of-a-kind downtown that reflects the character of Marana and serves our community for generations to come,” said Rozema.
