New San Tan county office complex to include library

Pinal County government services will be a lot closer for thousands of western Pinal residents in a few months as new county office buildings come online.

The new San Tan Valley complex at 31505 N. Schnepf Road will offer neighbors something they’ve typically had to travel out-of-town for — a public library. Including a library was something of a last-minute decision for that building, but “we were able to accommodate that relatively easily,” Deputy County Manager Himanshu Patel said in an interview with PinalCentral.

Other county offices aren’t settling for less to make room for the library. The building already included room for future growth, “so we just reprogrammed it,” Patel said. County staff worked with the architect to create a large open area, plus some work spaces and program areas for the library, which will be operated by the Pinal County Library District.
