Town Council Meeting- February 9th, 2026

The Town Council of Sahuarita held a meeting on February 9, 2026, primarily focused on a study session regarding the update of the town's 2025 General Plan. The session included a detailed presentation by a planning consultant from Michael Baker International, outlining the process, community outreach efforts, and key themes of the updated plan, such as sustainable growth, economic vitality, and conservation. Council members discussed the inclusion of regional infrastructure projects like the Sonoran Corridor and I-11, emphasizing the need for clear language to avoid misperceptions about the town's stance and regulatory authority. The council also addressed concerns about water and utility services, clarifying that while the town does not own these utilities, the General Plan serves as a guiding document for land use decisions that consider environmental impacts. No specific procurement actions, contract awards, or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting. The council anticipates finalizing and adopting the General Plan in a subsequent meeting scheduled for February 23, 2026.
