6 issues in general
Perkins Ranch Airfield Development and Zoning
Prop 410 passed by just 322 votes, and residents are pushing the council to lock campaign promises into the development agreement: no new homes, limited flight hours, touch-and-go operations only, and fines for violations. The council went into executive session on the agreement's terms.
Bright Star Well Site expansion land exchange
The town bought 0.92 acres it says it must have to expand the Bright Star Well site for PFAS water cleanup — at a steep price of $264,000 in water credits plus $59,500 for road access.
Aquatic Center
Chino Valley is finally building a new aquatic center featuring a pool, splash deck, slide, and concession stands to help residents beat the summer heat. This project has been a long time coming and promises to be a major hub for warm-weather fun.
Surveillance Technology
Chino Valley just dropped a transparency portal so you can actually see how those Flock license plate reader cameras are being used to keep the town safe. It's a quick way to check out the tech in action without wading through government red tape.
Ordinances and Resolutions
Chino Valley just dropped a fresh batch of local laws and council decisions that could directly impact your daily routine. It's always smart to stay in the loop so you aren't caught off guard by new town rules.
Economic Development Strategic Planning
Council members emphasized that economic development, including attracting grocery stores and retail options, must be a top priority to boost local TPT revenue and reduce reliance on state-shared funds.
