TUCSON (July 30, 2025) -- Project Blue has been in the headlines and media in recent weeks as the project progresses through the public process with the City and County. Thank you to the Pima County Board of Supervisors and staff for taking the important first step in support of this project. Our attention is now focused on the Tucson City Council as they consider annexing the property into the City of Tucson and the development agreement on August 19.
Now, it’s time to make our opinions heard. As the new Chamber of Southern Arizona, representing 1,500 businesses in our region, we need to make our voices loud and clear that we support responsible and sustainable economic growth in this region. Project Blue represents a clear benefit to all of us. See my Op-Ed submitted to media last week here or here to add to the growing support base from important leaders and constituents.
What can you do?
- Visit our Yes on Blue Campaign page here to submit a support letter to Mayor and Council in 30 seconds or less.
- Utilize the resources in our Yes on Blue Campaign Toolkit here to further support Project Blue and encourage others to as well.
The kind of investment that Project Blue represents is few and far between – a once-in-a-generation opportunity. $3.6 billion capital investment, $100 million in new reclaimed water infrastructure, 3,000 construction jobs and $250 million in new tax revenue from a single project would represent a monumentally positive shift for our community. If you’ve never taken action before, we need you now. Please make your voice heard before August 19.
Regards,
Joe Snell
