Industrial Hub

The Town of Florence is positioning itself as the next major player in Arizona’s fast-growing industrial corridor, introducing a sweeping plan to transform more than 1,500 acres of agricultural land into a technology and employment hub.

On September 4, Florence’s Planning and Zoning Commission introduced a major general plan amendment to allow development of an industrial technology park across the Dobson Farms master-planned community, which has remained undeveloped since its approval nearly 15 years ago.

The proposed amendment seeks to rezone the land for more intensive commercial and employment uses, paving the way for large-scale warehousing, automotive sales, and data centers.
