PALOMINAS, Ariz. — Over the last 2 years, Cochise County officials say they have spent $200,000 on cleanup efforts at the historic Miracle Valley property in Palominas.
Each district supervisor has Community Enhancement Funds built into the county budget. It's up to the supervisor on how it's spent. Crosby offered all of his districts funds to the clean up — which were then voted on and approved by the board. Dan Coxworth, director of development services for the county, says the $70,000 was used to remove trash, septic tanks and a large concrete foundation. He says, so far, the asbestos abatement for multiple buildings has cost the most money so far.
"As the owners of the property in order to sell this property, we want it to be in the best condition as possible," Coxworth said."So the future property owner has a better chance of being successful.”
