BENSON: A 28,000 home development planned for Benson is expected to bring an estimated $24 billion to the region’s local economy. The Villages at Vigneto, a master-planned community by Phoenix-based developer El Dorado Holdings, Inc. will create an estimated 9,000 permanent jobs and turn Cochise County’s sagging economy around.
Principals of El Dorado Holdings were in Benson Friday to meet with members of the community where they provided an update about the development’s progress as well as its projected economic impact, to include 16,000 local and regional jobs at the peak of construction and more than 8,500 permanent jobs after the project is fully developed.
