Board touts county successes in ‘a very trying year’
by Mark Cowling | PinalCentral
The challenges of being part of a global pandemic haven’t stalled progress in Pinal County, Board of Supervisors Chairman Anthony Smith, R-Maricopa, said Wednesday.
“We’ve been able to keep employees paid at a competitive level, we’ve been able to build for the future,” and have kept economic development successes on track with the promise of thousands of new jobs, Smith said.
The board also met its strategic goal of reducing the primary property tax rate an additional four cents, he continued. The board expects to formally approve a new primary property tax rate of $3.75 per $100 of assessed value in the weeks ahead.
