Community Academy is a fun, interactive, and award-winning opportunity to learn about your Town and local government. Join staff and your neighbors to learn more about Oro Valley and help shape the community’s vision for the next 10-years!

This year’s classes will focus on upcoming efforts to plan for Oro Valley's future. The Town is kicking off efforts this year to achieve a voter ratified General Plan with a focus on:

  • Community (finances, public safety, and parks)
  • Environment (views, open space and water supply)
  • Development (roads, public services, built environment) and more!

The 2023 Community Academy is underway. If you have any questions or would like to register, please contact Milini Simms, Principal Planner at 520-229-4836 or msimms@orovalleyaz.gov.
