As the holidays approach, our gift to you is a refreshed, refocused magazine, Grande LIVING.
We at ROX Media have brought you Golden Corridor LIVING for the past nine years. We’re so proud of the work we’ve done as the “Voice of the Community” for this stretch of the desert between Phoenix and Tucson, an agricultural hub that’s bursting with potential as an industrial and hightech powerhouse.
We’re no longer a corridor, we’re a destination!
Nothing about our mission is changing — we’re just refreshing our focus on the grand life everyone is building throughout Pinal County. We’re bringing back more of the home and real estate content we used to feature: “Come On In” home tours, “Dear (Community)” letters starting with Casa Grande, the fun What ROX/What Sux commentaries and real estate statistics to help you follow today’s dynamic market.
We’re also moving the event calendar and Rewind features from our sister publication, Pinal NOW, into Grande LIVING. Now you won’t have to pick up two magazines to learn everything you need to know to live your best, fullest life in our communities and across the county!
In this issue we pay tribute to local dairy farmer Dennis Dugan and his instrumental role in expanding our ag sector and resources for everyone in Pinal County, especially our youth. Dennis passed away in August of this year, leaving Casa Grande and surrounding communities saddened but grateful for all the contributions he made as an employer, a member of committees ranging from the Planning and Zoning Commission to the Industrial Development Authority and founder of the Pinal 40.
We’re reprinting his interview from 2016 in this issue with a few updates from the family as a tribute.
Grande LIVING will deliver the news and lifestyle stories you rely on us for to give you a full picture of what life in our “grande” region can be as we move through the glow of the holidays and into the promise of 2023!
