Good morning RJ,

Some Casa Grande residents can relax after the developer of a new RV resort withdrew their request to make the resort accessible to residents of all ages. The original plan was to limit the new Spanish Trails West mobile home and RV resort to residents ages 55 and over. But in April, the developer filed a request with the city to open it to all ages. Read more on why the proposed changes won’t go into effect.

And in Maricopa, a man has been arrested on charges of child abuse after allegedly injuring two children. One child was sent to the hospital with an injury to their hand.
