## Posts
- [Florence Continues Approval of Industrial Transition for Northern Development Corridor](https://pinalpost.com/florence-approves-industrial-transition-for-northern-development-corridor/): The 7\-0 vote converted 40\.93 acres inside Dobson Farms for the LightHorse battery project, growing the master plan's industrial share from 65 to 106 acres\. A town official predicted neighboring owners would soon seek the same industrial designation, which they did that fall\. The mayor said the planned but unfunded 505 freeway is steering the corridor from rooftops to industry\.
- [Data Centers Anchor Proposed 1,600\-Acre Industrial Campus in Florence](https://pinalpost.com/data-centers-anchor-proposed-1600-acre-industrial-campus-in-florence/): Each Tech Park data center building would span 1\.1 million square feet, a size with no match in the reference data traffic engineers work from, so they had to analyze the buildings as warehouses instead\. Filings anticipate SRP serving all three sites\. One resident urged the town to fix its roads first, noting both planned highways nearby remain unfunded\.
- [Florence Approves Data Centers on 1,619 Acres as Dobson Farms Becomes Major Tech Park](https://pinalpost.com/florence-approves-data-centers-on-1619-acres-as-dobson-farms-becomes-major-tech-park/): Three developments advanced at once: a five\-building tech park by Ryan Companies, a ten\-building East site with conceptual plans drawing roughly 720 megawatts, and a West site with details still lacking\. Combined demand could exceed one gigawatt\. No one spoke in opposition at any stage, and the mayor cast the shift from planned housing as a win for water\.

The applicant projected 500 acre\-feet of annual water use, less than the farming or approved housing it replaces, and the City of Maricopa moved from opposition to neutral while pursuing pre\-annexation\.
- [Commission Recommends Data Center Campus Despite Resident, Tribal Pushback](https://pinalpost.com/commission-recommends-data-center-campus-despite-resident-tribal-pushback/): The Ak\-Chin vice\-chairwoman told commissioners the tribe opposes the site, not the project: the land abutting their boundary holds cultural artifacts and remains, and the community wants them brought home undisturbed\. The developer had already cut the site from 2,500 acres to 495 after a citizens committee recommended denial\. The 6\-2 vote followed a failed motion to deny\.
