1. The Plan takes a neutral position on the issue of incorporation by neither recommending nor rejecting it. However, if Green Valley is incorporated during the 10-year Plan period, none of the following objectives or recommendations would change, only some of the implementation methods.
2. Green Valley has a recognized boundary accepted by Pima County in 1989. As with most other communities, development extends outside these boundaries in areas which the US Postal Service considers Green Valley. The population of this Greater Green Valley area, utilizing services within the community, will continue to grow from a permanent population of approximately 29,000 in 2005, with a winter population of approximately 35,000, to a permanent population of approximately 39,000 in 2015, with a winter population of approximately 47,000. Although the entire population of Greater Green Valley does not lie within the 1989 Green Valley boundaries, it will have an impact on the demand for services and the economy of the community.
3. Green Valley will remain a retirement community, which is primarily age-restricted. Over the next 10–years, however, the fastest growing segment of permanent residents will be younger retirees with a more active lifestyle and greater interest in self- or part-time employment.
