If you plan it, they will come. But if you don’t plan it, they will come anyway, turning a vast swath of Pinal County into a cancerous blob of urban sprawl with up to a million new residents.

That’s the thinking behind a $1.7 million exercise that’s about to produce its first report on possible ways to develop Superstition Vistas, a 275-square-mile tract of state trust land in the far southeast Valley.

Despite the suffocating recession and a change at the helm of the Arizona Land Department, one of the biggest land-planning projects in Arizona history is nearing the end of a crucial early phase.

By late this summer, the East Valley Partnership and the Pinal Partnership will host public meetings to unveil four possible scenarios for developing Superstition Vistas, a 275-square-mile area that lies at the Southeast Valley’s doorstep in northern Pinal County.

The partnerships are consortiums of businesses, civic, educational and political and tribal leaders, that has pushed economic growth
and planning on the east side of the metro area since the early 1980s.

“Light rail was expected to be the domain of the commuters, those 9-to-5 warriors of the workplace, on Monday. Yet the trains and stations still had an amusement parklike feel, as families again came out in force during the third day of no-fare ridership
