Last month concerned citizens reached out to Supervisor Pete Rios about the poor conditions of the Dudleyville gun range.
The land had been used for illegal dumping, which created an eyesore of broken appliances, household debris and other waste material. Although the property is owned by the State Land Department, Supervisor Rios recognized the importance of caring for the “peoples’ land” and accepted the challenge.
Supervisor Rios created an interdepartmental team to address the needs. In partnership with Public Works, Pinal County Environmental Services worked with State Land in receiving permission for right of entry and created a team to clean up the land. The Sheriff’s Office was also a willing participant in achieving success for this project. The land has been cleared by Pinal County and restored to its natural beauty.
