Marana Visitor Center officially relocates next to Municipal Complex

 The Marana Visitor Center has now officially moved in to its new home.

The Town of Marana has announced that its visitor center has finalized the process of relocating to a new building adjacent to the Municipal Complex. The new visitor center is located at 13251 N. Lon Adams Road. With the move, the visitor center will now share the same address as the Marana Chamber of Commerce.

“We can now serve our visitors better, because we have a nicer, newer facility," said Laura Cortelyou, tourism and marketing manager for the Town of Marana, in an interview with Inside Tucson Business. "It’s more comfortable and there’s amenities right across the street, if people want to park, ask for directions or find out where their journey is headed next. We couldn’t offer all that before.”

The existence of a visitor center isn't itself new for Marana. The town has previously managed visitor centers in two different locations, including a trailer. Now, though, the town believes that it's found a more convenient, and thus, potentially a more long term location. “The Visitor Center will benefit greatly from its proximity to Ora Mae Harn District Park where visitors may picnic on their way to Saguaro National Park West,” said Audra Winters, Marana Chamber of Commerce CEO. “We now have the office space to offer more specialized services to our members, with a television commercial and podcast production studio.”
