🚨 ACTION NEEDED – Public Comment by March 18

Circle K has applied to the Arizona State Liquor Board for a Series 9 liquor license (full liquor sales) at the planned store at:

📍 9015 E. Tanque Verde Rd
(Catalina Hwy & Tanque Verde Rd)

This type of license would allow full liquor sales and could significantly impact the character of our valley.

TVVA is committed to protecting the safety, character, and quality of life in our community. For that reason, we oppose the Series 9 license and ask the Board to limit approval to a Series 10 license (beer and wine only); the same license Circle K requested, and received, for its store now under construction at Houghton and Tanque Verde.

Your voice matters. The AZ Liquor Board accepts public comments, and even a short message about concerns such as traffic safety, community values, or easier access to alcohol can make a difference.

Residents can submit public comments directly to the Arizona State Liquor Board.

⏰ Deadline: March 18 to be considered by the AZ Liquor Board.

Even a short message can make a difference.

📄 Three sample letters and submission Emails:

By speaking up now, we can help protect the safety and character of the Tanque Verde Valley.

Thank you for supporting TVVA and caring about our community’s future.

Please share this post so more residents are aware before the deadline.

The Tanque Verde Valley Association invites all members and interested community residents to attend our upcoming General Meeting. The meeting is scheduled for March 25, 2026, from 5:00 to 6:00 pm, in the large meeting room at Kirk Bear Canyon Library.

This meeting will provide TVVA with the opportunity to communicate significant community updates. The Agenda will be dedicated to two topics: 1) our "Special Area" application within Pima County’s Comprehensive Plan; and 2) the steps TVVA is taking concerning the future of the Al Marah Equine Center.

We encourage everyone to participate in shaping the direction of our community. Join us!

TVVA is looking into the future of the Al Marah Equine Center, an important part of our Valley’s horse community. As part of our plan to create a horse-friendly area, we are exploring ways to protect open space, keep land use responsible, and preserve our rural way of life.
