Queen Creek Changes Annexation Map for the Third Time

A Pro Annexation group pushing to annex Encanterra into the Town of Queen Creek just announced another change to their plans.

Claiming that the news is a “game changer” for annexation, the pro annexation group received word June 21, 2018, that “Queen Creek is revising the map – again!” This will be the third map that has been presented in regards to Queen Creek annexation of Encanterra.

The news alert regarding the annexation states:

“Just yesterday, we received word that Queen Creek is revising the map – again! (As we have previously mentioned, with annexation, the map can be revised at Queen Creek’s discretion). The Town of Queen Creek has now decided to exclude the commercial areas outside of our gates from the proposed annexation map, so the annexation will now include Encanterra ONLY. (No medical plaza, no Fry’s plaza, etc.)

Why would they do this?

We were told that the Town doesn’t want the businesses that were on the proposed map to feel forced into Annexation if they aren’t ready, so their direction is to focus on residential.”
