Arizona Town Hall is a non-profit organization that brings diverse people together to solve critical and often divisive policy issues |
With Arizona’s population expected to double in 45 years, decisions on what to do with State Trust Land and how best to manage land development are crucial to our future. Participants at the 91st Town Hall reached consensus that current systems of planning and land-use regulation are inadequate to address Arizona's rapid growth. Collaborative planning among all levels of govenrment--local, regional, state, tribal and federal--is crucial, particularly in managing infrastructure, transportation, education, environmental concerns, energy, and natural and water resources. Following are just a few of the key recommendations and essential actions identified by the participants in the 91st Arizona Town Hall.
