Pinal County’s new Development Services building will be energy-efficient, environmentally friendly and “a big plus for the people of Pinal County,” Florence Vice Mayor John Anderson told a crowd gathered for a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday afternoon.

The town of Florence will vacate a portion of Florence Street for easier pedestrian traffic between the new building on the east side of the street and existing county offices on the west side of the street. The contract also includes a new Emergency Operations Center building across the street.

The Board of Supervisors awarded the construction contract Jan. 8 to Danson Construction LLC, which submitted the low bid of $13,235,000.
