Save Marble Canyon
Save Marble Canyon
The Issue
Sign this petition to ask the Coconino County Board of Supervisors to reverse the zoning permissions for the California-based developers that will enable them to bring a 162-acre resort to Marble Canyon. The Foster family has teamed up with the Hansji Corporation to bring this resort to Marble Canyon.
Why is it important for this not to happen?
The project calls for a full-amenity resort which would include a hotel, motel, microbreweries, and restaurants. This will mean the traffic will drastically increase in the Lees Ferry area/ Marble Canyon. With this much extra traffic will the resort stay ecological like the developers are claiming? How will the extra traffic disturb and affect the wildlife? A project this size does not belong in a beautiful place like Marble Canyon. I think we can agree that a 162-acre resort will not be "ecological". Another question you have to ask yourself is, "At what point will this development stop? Will it be after the Hansji Corporation has maxed out its offerings in the area? What's next on the building agenda? Helicopter Tours? OffRoad Tours? And so forth...
What Lees Ferry/ Marble Canyon Looks Like Now
Many generations of kayakers and fishers and been visiting Lees Ferry as a way to get away from the crowd of the city to connect to nature. The fishing is excellent (at times) and the white water rafting is epic. Marble Canyon holds truly stunning views and has a place in many of the local Arizonian hearts. Crystal clear water and a healthy fish population.
Here is a video that displays the beauty of Marble Canyon
What the Developers Have in Mind
As we have eluded to the proposed resort will be 162 acres. This will definitely interrupt and ruin the solace of our beloved local spot. Lees Ferry is maybe one of the best fly fishing spots in Arizona (and we don't have that many). The increase in water traffic will only increase the oil and emissions from the watercraft! We need to act now, this is a birds-eye view of the project:

About Me
My name is Caleb and I was born in Scottsdale. I love to go and fly fish Lees Ferry and regard it as a special spot that is not common in Arizona. I am a local entrepreneur that wants to make a difference. Let's not let a big California Corporation come and destroy our mutual spot!
