  • Florence 2020 General Plan
    This page intentionally left blank. Welcome to the Town of Florence 2020 General Plan Update The State of Arizona, through detailed Growing Smarter legislation, requires that incorporated areas develop General Plans to assist in assessing current conditions and trends and developing goals, objectives and strategies that will help guide future growth and development. The extensive public participation and planning process for the Town of Florence 2020 General Plan began with the 2007 update of the Town’s General Plan Future Land Use Map, one of the most widely used figures in the General Plan. That process began our efforts towards completing a mid-cycle update of our General Plan that was last updated in 2002. While the State did not mandate this update for another few years, the Town took on this critical project early due to the many changes that have occurred since the last update. Indeed, the Town of Florence has grown and changed dramatically over the decades and much more dramatic changes are yet to come. Through the decades, Florence has retained an undisputable sense of place and character by respecting local history and being the seat, and the heart, of Pinal County. While the growth ahead will present many significant challenges, this General Plan update presents a valuable tool for the Town to use to protect its position in the emerging “megalopolis” or “Sun Corridor” region. This Plan respects the unique history and character of the area while also accepting that additional growth and development is inevitable. Smart growth is encouraged by this Plan and it is acknowledged that we must grow in a sustainable manner that respects our natural and cultural resources and brings new economic prosperity.
