Southeast Tucson getting new developments in the area

Southeast Tucson is getting major new Commercial business and also new Residential home developments to the area.

The director of the University of Arizona Science and Technology Park Marshall Warden, said a considerable amount of change is happening along Rita Road

 

The technology park which has been in existence for many years  is getting  a Target  distribution center and also  the American Canning Company, who took over the old SlimFast building, is working up to full operations in the area.

 In fact the university's science and technology park currently has 7,000 employees in the Rita Ranch area , and  the new  Target distribution center  will bring about 400 jobs when it opens next year.

Obviously with more jobs comes more traffic and it is expected to increase the traffic on Rita Road.

Also a  company called Global Solar is also anticipated  to open up for business just north of the railroad tracks.

KB Homes is also currently planning a new homes development near Kolb Road.

 An annexation agreement with the city of Tucson will allow them to build a four-lane public road that would connect to Kolb Road.

This will also eventually  connect the road to Rita Road.

In the future,  a golf course is also a possibility in the area, but that would be contingent on  the availability of effluent.

A hotel hotel and possibly restaurants and other commercial prospects are also being proposed in the area.
