With the Town of Marana celebrating its 40th Anniversary, it was only fitting that the State of the Town speech celebrated the town’s rich history.

Mayor Ed Honea reminded attendees at the Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain on Friday, April 14, that he has lived in the area before it became a town and was part of the effort to get signatures to incorporate back in 1977.
