The Town of Marana is preparing to welcome a new art installation in Downtown Marana. The Town Council-approved concept is a collaboration of the artist with multiple teams, including the Town Council, and is a marriage of the old and the new. The artwork, featuring a saguaro, a steer, and a man riding a horse, embodies the historically accurate culture of Marana, but is conceptualized with a modern design and material. In doing so, the Town of Marana honors the past, and gives a nod to the future.

The Center for Digital Government (CDG) announced the winners of the 2019 Digital Cities Survey, and Marana, AZ has tied for 10th place in the category of cities up to 75,000 in population. Now in its 19th year, the annual survey recognizes cities using technology to tackle social challenges, enhance services, strengthen cybersecurity, and more.

No matter the season, town staff are hard at work delivering quality services to the community. Parks and recreation kicked off a new series of programming for the cooler weather, the general plan update is winding down for final approval, public works crews are hard at work maintaining our roads through the Pavement Preservation Program, and Marana Water finalized a study on water and wastewater rates. 

The Marana Parks and Recreation Department is beginning the process of preparing a master plan that will guide the development of active recreational parks, natural resource parks, trails, and recreation programs over the next 10 years. Your input is important and valued.
