Marana airport improvements among projects on 2021’s to-do list
by Terry Rozema | Tucson Local Media
It’s a new year, and the Town of Marana has much to look back on and be thankful for. Despite the hardships of the COVID-19 pandemic, Town staff finished 2020 with dedication and resiliency, maintaining a balanced budget while delivering the essential services that Marana residents have come to expect.
Our major accomplishments include projects that set the Marana community and infrastructure up for success. The Marana Regional Airport letter of map revision and land rezone initiative removed the airport from the flood plain, resulting in a greater potential for future growth and commercial interest. The construction of the Picture Rock and Airline/Lambert water treatment campuses serving Continental Reserve and Saguaro Bloom neighborhoods comes to an end with a tentative grand opening planned for February 2021. We also dedicated time to helping our businesses in need and developed the “Marana Matters” small business assistance program, which aims to reimburse qualifying businesses for past or ongoing expenses related to the mitigation of the spread of COVID-19. Businesses can begin applying for the program on Feb. 1. Visit MaranaAZ.gov for more information on how to qualify.
Now, with the start of the new year, we continue to look to the future and build on our current momentum.
