Saying their voices have not been heard during negotiations, San Tan Valley residents were vocal April 19 in their disapproval of the town of Queen Creek’s proposed annexations of two San Tan Valley commercial parcels, including Banner Ironwood Medical Center.

The town is seeking to annex both Banner Health’s Banner Ironwood Medical Center, a three-parcel property on about 80 acres at 37000 N. Gantzel Road, and two parcels on about 35 acres at the southeast corner of Empire Boulevard and Ellsworth Road.

On April 11, the town announced in a press release the Queen Creek Town Council had approved a pre-annexation agreement with Banner Health to annex Banner Ironwood. The requested area includes the hospital, medical offices and undeveloped land.
