Pavement Repairs Planned on the West Side of Esperanza Estates Green Valley News, April 30, 2021
The Pima County Department of Transportation has finalized its list of road repairs for the 2021-22 fiscal year, with about $83.7 million going to the next portion of the Pavement Repair and Preservation Program that begins July 1.
District 4, which includes Green Valley and parts of Sahuarita, will see about 67 miles of local, arterial and collector road improvements in the next phase, at an estimated cost of more than $17.4 million.
Green Valley subdivisions slated for improvements over the next year include:

Green Valley ZIP Codes Have Highest Vaccination Rates in County
In 85614, which includes part of Green Valley and southern parts of Sahuarita, it's about 72% of the population of 24,294.
Pima County spokesman Mark Evans said, "If Green Valley was a more rural community and had less mobility, you could consider it having community immunity, but because many folks in Green Valley and Sahuarita commute to Tucson frequently, they are part of the larger metro area, which still has a ways to go for community immunity," he said. "That's why it's important to keep up with mitigation by wearing masks and limiting the size of gatherings."
I am thinking of starting a social media group for chickens... Not as my full time job, just as a way to make hens meet!! Why did the woman go outside with her purse open? Because she expected some change in the weather.
Do they allow laughing in Hawaii... or just "a low ha" ?!?
