How the community has taken it
Reception is a sourced signal, not an editorial judgment: contested means active public debate is on record, with hearings, petitions, or organized opposition, without litigation.
Hidden Valley residents raised concerns about falling water tables and deeper well drilling, with one resident saying 'There needs to be a cap on the water, if any water is used.' A June 2026 opposition letter from a nearby homeowner linked a well pump burnout to lowered groundwater. The county's staff recommendation carries 21 PAD stipulations responding to resident concerns, including an air-cooled or closed-loop cooling requirement, a landscaped berm and decibel limits with restricted generator-testing hours. The rezoning and PAD cases were postponed at the 16 July 2026 Planning and Zoning Commission hearing.
Notes on the record
Unincorporated Pinal County at the southwest corner of Selma Highway and Midway Road, roughly two miles south of the Casa Grande city limits but inside its planning area. The applicant projects about 225 permanent jobs at an average salary near $93,000 and $150 million in annual utility spend at full build-out. Reported acreage differs between sources (215 acres in the Pinal Post account, 294 acres in a same-day Pinal Central report); the 215-acre figure matches the comprehensive plan amendment as described. Capacity in MW has not been publicly stated.
