TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — A prominent landowner withdrew two applications last week that were related to a contentious rezoning proposal that would have made way for large development in Rio Rico.

Andy Jackson announced the withdrawal of the applications for the development on 3,550 acres the day before a Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors meeting on Aug. 1.

Local residents raised concerns about potential negative impacts on the town.
