How this works. We pull these automatically from the agendas of the Pima County Board of Supervisors, Tucson Mayor & Council and the Oro Valley Town Council, the state liquor-license database for Marana, and the county health department’s food-establishment permits, which catch new restaurants and cafes even when no liquor license is involved. This is part of Around Town, where you’ll also find development cases and rezonings.
