Arizona, like most states in the western United States has been in an Extreme
Drought for several years. Developers want to build hundreds or even thousands of homes in Golden Valley. Mohave County recently flip-flopped on approval of these high density housing developments. In Early 2025 they turned down the Angle Homes plans, but several weeks later, in a closed-door meeting approved them. Concerned citizens uncovered this, and filed with the Planning Dept. and the B.O.S. admitted to violation of Open Meeting Regulations. They are now reviewing the approval with an open meeting with the public.
Golden Valley has been a A/R Zoned area for decades. The smallest land size is 1.1 Acres for each house. Angle Home developers have got approval from Mohave County Planning Dept. for more homes per acre. This website shows the charts of the Water Well conditions, which are dropping 1-ft. per year. Additionally, draught maps show Arizona long-term conditions to be worsening. .
