Chilly reception to proposed planned community in Florence

Florence 287 is a proposed master-planned community spanning 2,249 acres across Florence and Coolidge. The community is bound by Adamsville Road, Hiscox Lane and Vah Ki Inn Road with most of the project south of SR-287.

Town of Florence

A proposal to rezone about 2,250 acres in Florence for a new potential master-planned community is getting some push back.

At its May 18 meeting, the Florence Town Council heard the first reading of an ordinance to rezone the land from rural agricultural to a planned unit development. As it was the first reading of the ordinance, the council did not vote on the measure. The measure will come back for a final vote at the council’s next meeting.
