Paradise Valley seeks official town status amid Scottsdale area growth
Circulation of incorporation petitions for Paradise Valley grows as Citizens Committee pushes to form a town northwest of Scottsdale. The plan would place zoning control and tax shares under a new town, amid Arcadia annexation tension and a state bill restricting new incorporations within six miles of existing municipalities. The committee must prove 500 residents and two-thirds of real estate taxpayers sign up.
