The town of Tusayan, Arizona sits a mile from the Grand Canyon’s South Rim entrance. Even though the small town only has a population of 576, it struggles to find enough water due to its arid location and Arizona’s ongoing drought.

Yet Stilo Development Group USA feels that this is the perfect location to build 2,000 homes and 1.8 million square feet of commercial space.

The development will transform the area into a bustling resort complex that will strip the land of its quickly depleting resources and impact the quality of life for local residents and surrounding wildlife. And we still don’t know where the water will come from. Any proposal that taps into groundwater would threaten the water supply for the Havasupai people and their amazing waterfalls.

These threats led the National Park Service to oppose the project and the Forest Service to reject a road and utility lines through the Kaibab National Forest. However, a new proposal is being submitted, so we must remain vigilant.
