The Silverbell Gateway Distribution Center is expected to create hundreds of jobs with an economic impact of $4.3 million over the next five years.
Amazon will build the 220,000-square-foot facility on a 65-acre site at the northeast corner of Ina and Silverbell roads. Residents in the area were caught off guard when construction equipment
began clearing the desert land in May. This will be the fifth facility in the Tucson area for the online retail giant. Amazon first opened in Tucson with an 855,000-square-foot fulfillment center in 2019.
Amazon’s investment in our community at the Silverbell Gateway Distribution Center will have an important economic impact to the region and will bring jobs to Marana. Our economic development
team lead by Curt Woody, Economic Development Director, was instrumental in facilitating this project. Marana remains an attractive location for new commercial development.”

Vision Statement
The Make Marana 2040 General Plan Vision Statement was drafted through public input at community workshops, then refined by the Marana Citizens’ Forum, Town staff, and
the General Plan Advisory Committee. This Statement describes the future ideal state of the community and expresses the shared community values. This Vision Statement is
the guiding source for the General Plan and contains the values that are supported by the goals, policies, and implementation strategies.
Major Amendments
The General Plan must identify changes or modifications that constitute major amendments to the Plan. Arizona law defines a major amendment as any change that would
represent a "substantial alteration" in the land use mixture or balance established in the existing General Plan.
Land Use
A community is comprised of interrelated and supporting uses of land. Residents need goods, services, and employment, as well as parks, open spaces, civic and public uses.
Providing the framework for balanced and compatible development is at the foundation of community building. Since much of Marana is undeveloped, the Town is in a
position to guide and shape the character, scale, form, and function of future development that is consistent with the broad vision and goals established by this General Plan.
Housing
Housing. Safe and affordable housing is key to providing a high quality of life for residents. The Housing Element establishes goals and policies to maintain an attractive,
diverse, and affordable housing stock for all current and future residents.
Transportation
The Transportation Element provides goals and policies to achieve an efficient, functional, and connected multi-modal transportation system serving all methods of travel. The
Transportation Element consolidates the Circulation Element and Bicycling Element required by state law.
Public Services:
The Public Services and Facilities Element provides policy guidance on the provision of public services to serve the community including the delivery of potable water and
wastewater, as well as other essential facilities and services Marana maintains. The Public Services and Facilities Element consolidates the Public Services and Facilities Element
and the Public Building Element required by state law
