UPDATED JULY 14, 2020:
The Town of Marana is presenting voters with two ballot propositions for consideration during the August 4, 2020 Primary Election. The Make Marana 2040 General Plan is Proposition 478.
Originally published March 3, 2020:
The Make Marana 2040 General Plan was unanimously approved by Town Council on December 10, 2019. The General Plan reflects the vision and goals of the community, recommending policies and strategies to protect and enhance what is important into 2040 and beyond. Consisting of five chapters: Introduction, Built Environment, People & Community, Resources & Sustainability, and Implementation, the General Plan provides the basis for development while maintaining the quality of life that Marana residents expect. General Plan maps show where residential, commercial, and other land uses will be located and act as a blueprint while a series of policies guide future decisions about growth, development, and conservation of resources.

The Vision Statement of the Make Marana 2040 General Plan was drafted through public input at community workshops, then refined by the Marana Citizens’ Forum, Town staff, and the General Plan Advisory Committee. This Statement describes the ideal future state of the community, expresses shared community values, and represents the Town’s goals for growth by 2040. It serves as the guiding source for the General Plan and contains the values that are supported by the goals, policies, and implementation strategies.
VISION STATEMENT: Marana is a vibrant, active, and diverse town that embraces civic spirit and unified sense of community. We pride ourselves on having quality neighborhoods and infrastructure that supports sound economic growth. The Town will grow in a manner that ensures safety and promotes healthy living through development that improves our community and retains our shared values.
