Supervisor Goodman's office recently collected survey responses from San Tan Valley residents regarding preferences for the future of the community. This area is not an incorporated city, and as such, does not have access to many of the funding sources and amenities that a city or town would. Gathering resident feedback is critical to determining top priorities and focus areas for the community's resources. Town Halls will be held during the month of June to provide a summary of the survey results.  

Pinal County’s half-cent road excise tax was passed in 1986 and renewed in 2005. Sometimes called the “pothole tax,” this local funding is used to preserve and build our roads throughout our region. This tax is the only funding for our Transportation Improvement and Maintenance Program (TIMP.)

As it currently stands, this dedicated funding is set to expire at the end of 2026. Pinal County’s Public Works Department and Transportation Planning Division have launched a public awareness effort called “Preserving Our Future” to highlight the history of transportation in Pinal County, the accomplishments of the current road tax, and a look at our future roadway maintenance, safety, and economic development needs as discussions begin surrounding the expiration of the current tax.

A huge part of economic development is workforce development! Check out this event held last summer and learn what Pinal County does to continue the collective effort in shaping the future of workforce development in our region.

Celebrated the first full week in May since 1985, Public Service Recognition Week (PSRW) is a time set aside to honor those who serve our nation as federal, state, county, and local government employees.

Throughout the nation and the world, public servants use this occasion to educate others about the work they do and why they have chosen public service careers, as well as the many ways government services make life better for all of us. 

This week, Pinal County celebrates and recognizes all of the exceptional public servants who work daily to serve the residents of Pinal County!
