State agency trims Tucson colony upgrade amid budget vote
Arizona planning commission slashes bids and selects several projects from an $8.2 million demand, including a narrowed Deaf and Blind School plan in Tucson and a proposed Rincon Vista site study, while shelving a new National Guard HQ and other buildings. Senator Ben Arnold opposes outsourcing colony operations and a Tucson branch may be dropped. The commission approves an evaluation center and shelter workshop cost cut, and advances major hospital, prison, and land purchases with phased funding across 1966 67.
