The Sitgreaves County Project, known as SB1653, the study committee for the Sitgreaves County Project, was killed last week.
We would like to thank Senator Wendy Rogers for her efforts to get the Sitgreaves County Project through two Arizona Senate readings at this session.
The Sitgreaves County Project is a non-partisan group of White Mountain citizens who have set themselves the goal of creating Arizona’s 16th county out of the southern halves of counties Navajo and Apache and advocating the cause of northeast Arizona.
You may be wondering why a new county?
The new county of Sitgreaves has the potential to become an economic powerhouse in Arizona and the American Southwest.
It will bring local control over the services to the people of the White Mountains. Sitgreaves County will be able to have lower property taxes.
Property taxes will stay in the White Mountains to improve schools and encourage the development of the White Mountain Apaches.
The only current economic expansion in Navajo County is the marijuana farms in Snowflake, which will employ low-paid wage laborers. This will have an impact on the local job market!
The Sitgreaves County project will be re-presented at the next meeting. We need the help of the citizens of southern Navajo Counties and southern Apache Counties. You may be wondering what can i do?
