38. Other Comments Great place to live. Thank you to all the volunteers. GVR does an excellent job for this community, as does the GVCCC. GVR is a bargain & GVCCC is beneficial. Get county to repair streets; filling pot holes with cinders does not last. GVR needs to allow member to opt out of membership (i.e. medically unable to use facility) and not be hold hostage to [the] fee. I love Green Valley. The roads are a disgrace, no hospital, and drivers are horrible. GVR & GVCC do a terrific job. Need better medical. We have all our doctors & tests done in Tucson.
