During the Graham County Planning and Zoning meeting on December 18, 2024, significant discussions centered around future developments that could reshape local neighborhoods. One of the key topics was the proposed entrance to Desert Hills, which is currently not a street but is intended to become a new access point for residents. County officials indicated plans to establish this entrance off Fortieth Avenue, although details remain subject to change.

The meeting also addressed a request from Tri County Materials to rezone a 250-acre area from general land use to multifamily residential. This proposal aims to facilitate the development of multifamily housing south of Discovery Park Boulevard. The representative for Tri County Materials highlighted that the area had been zoned for an RV park for the past 25 years but had not progressed due to the lack of sewer infrastructure.

The discussions reflect ongoing efforts to enhance housing options in Graham County, responding to community needs for more residential developments. As the county moves forward with these plans, residents can expect changes that may impact local accessibility and housing availability. The meeting concluded with a positive motion to advance the discussions, indicating a collaborative approach to community development.
