Marana is the fastest growing area in southern Arizona at more than double the state average, according to the Office of Economic Opportunity.

Marana’s current population is 4.5 percent greater from last year’s report at 49,323 residents — compared to the state’s growth rate at 1.6 percent. In an executive report published last month, town officials documented increases in development around Marana and the community’s utility customers from November 2018 to this year.

Total customers billed for water and sewer services saw a 6.9 percent and 14.6 percent increase, respectively, from October 2018 to October 2019, according to the report.

With more people in town, development seems to be everywhere.
