Territory Square 202 +:- Acres of Mixed Use Land
Florence tops list of 10 Arizona up and comers
Florence is Arizona’s top city on the rise, according to the personal finance Website NerdWallet.
Apparently crime really is recession-proof, as the Arizona State Prison Complex in Florence has kept the town humming through the Great Recession and ever since, says Phoenix Business Journal.
The town also is in the midst of a massive economic development project called Territory Square, which broke ground in 2010 and won Best Project Study by the Arizona Planning Association in 2011. The project will eventually develop 623 acres along the Gila River.
Florence Copper, an arm of Vancouver-based Curis Resources, wants to pump copper deposits from land it owns in Florence using water and sulfuric acid. The town plans to seize 1,182 acres of FCP-owned land via eminent domain and use it for a water treatment plant. The copper company could sue over the eminent domain push.
