Legislators want money to preserve southern arizona land

[Source: Associated Press] -- Two Arizona lawmakers are planning to propose legislation this month that would provide money for wetlands and historic preservation for a piece of southern Arizona land. U.S. Democratic Representatives Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords want to establish the Santa Cruz Valley National Heritage Area. Giffords and Grijalva are still working out how much of the region will be included, but a group supporting the legislation has asked for more than three thousand square miles. The area would run east of the Tucson Mountains and west of the Rincon Mountains, stretching from the Pinal County line to the U.S.-Mexico border.
