The Pinal County Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) was developed through a collaborative
partnership of representatives from varied stakeholders including local communities
Pinal County and other regional entities. Two JLUS committees – the Policy Committee
and the Technical Working Group – provided direction and technical oversight on the
document and were composed of representatives from the stakeholder groups.
Together, the groups worked toward a consensus on the issues and recommendations,
and participants provided comments at every stage of the drafting process. Individual
working group participants do not necessarily agree with or endorse any part or the
whole of the final document. The following pages identify the individuals that formally
participated in the development of the Pinal County JLUS.
