URGENT MARANA UPDATE!
Earlier this week...
Marana town council met to vote on the rezoning of two 300 acre parcels of land (600 acres total) for a massive data center complex, courtesy of your favorite 3-grifters-in-a-trench-coat-developer, Beale Infrastructure.
Unfortunately and unsurprisingly, the town council voted 6-0 to pass the rezoning application, complete with some truly wild softball testimony from the council and bonus harassment and bullying of constituents from the dais! (Don’t worry, we’ll talk about this more in the weeks to come).
Since we expected this might be the case, we were prepared with a referendum on the two votes (filed on Thursday), and now we need volunteers to help collect signatures!
Due to the complexity of this process, we’ve partnered with Worker Power to accomplish this task – there are a lot of legal requirements to meet so we’re incredibly thankful for their partnership!
What's the point of a Referendum?
This referendum will simply put the rezoning on the ballot, not decide whether the projects move forward. This will also mean more opportunities to educate and get real input from the Marana community on these data centers.
We need about 1400 signatures from registered voters in Marana.
We want the people of Marana to have their voices heard.
