Money Magazine Rates Pinal County Arizona #1 In Job Growth for the Nation!
Pinal County, AZ, #1 in job growth for the nation???
I'm left simply scratching my head in wonderment.
The photo shows an area where the population density is probably no more than 2 persons per 100 square miles.
How many folks can populate a 2.5 acre biosphere?
The Civil war was officially over in, what? About 1864 or so?
Ghost towns included. Who takes that census?
Coke ovens? That made me think of steel making which I generally equate with Pittsburgh, not Arizona.
WAIT! There's more.
Approximately 50% of the county is comprised of:
- State Trust Lands
- National Forest
- State & County Parks
- Wilderness Area
That's not growth. That's preservation.
I can't get over this. I'll have to do some rethinking about what constitutes "growth" as determined by Money Mag.
Pinal County has a master plan for "open space and trails?? Hardly what we folks in urban areas would compare with condo and townhome developments.
By George! I've got it! Pinal County is dedicated to growing "preservation areas" and THAT, my friends is a very good thing.
