Thousands of San Tan Valley residents are once again trying to pull together a grassroots effort to incorporate, but ultimately, they will have to get their neighbors on board.
Some people argue San Tan Valley is ignored and forgotten about.It has 100,000 residents and is growing more each year, so they say it’s time the community incorporates and focuses on improving its infrastructure."We got to get the roads under control because the traffic here is a nightmare when you're trying to leave here in the evening," a resident said.From dangerous, deteriorating roads, to the lack of zoning and public services, residents are calling for change.
The residents who oppose San Tan Valley becoming its own city have slowed the multiple efforts to incorporate, fearing a higher tax burden."We're good. We like it this way," a resident said.Another resident said, "We don't need stuff like that. We need to stay small, stay nice and stay local.
