FLAGSTAFF, AZ --The developer of a $330-million mixed-use development near the southern edge of the Grand Canyon is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in a bid to keep the development alive. Voters in Coconino County, a vast county in northern Arizona that includes the rural town of Flagstaff, will vote on Nov. 7 on whether the controversial project moves forward.
Developers of the Canyon Forest Village have spent an unprecedented $680,000 on the campaign to date, and opponents say that the partnership plans to spend as much as $2 million to win support for Proposition 400. If that much is spent, that would mean about $45 for each of the estimated 45,000 voters expected to cast ballots on the issue.
