Rancho development deal done

KINGMAN – A development agreement for construction of the Rancho Santa Fe Interstate 40 traffic interchange, a parkway arterial, connector roadways and infrastructure was approved with some fanfare at Tuesday’s Kingman City Council meeting. Vice Mayor Travis Lingenfelter said the interchange first made the city’s capital project list 49 years ago. “This is a really big deal that this is approved and this goes forward tonight.
