FICO begins process that will transform Sahuarita, GV
FICO on Friday officially launched the process of developing much of the world’s largest pecan grove into a master-planned community. In its 160-page Specific Plan filed with the town of Sahuarita, Farmers Investment Co. said over the next 50 years it expects to build roads, trails, parks and riverfront improvements on most of its 5,659 acres in the town as the orchards slowly give way to houses, businesses, roads and parks. The company plans to leave 2,100 acres of open space, some of which will remain pecan groves, with large orchards north of Sahuarita Road facing Rancho Sahuarita, and north of La Posada.
