Oro Valley Voice
Rooted. Relaunched. Revived.
Welcome back to the Oro Valley Voice, where legacy meets momentum. Founded by Gregory Lopeman, the Voice began as a humble print to mail community publication, connecting neighbors with hyperlocal news and stories that mattered. It thrived in mailboxes across town until 2021, when the world got a little noisier and a lot more complicated. The presses quieted, but the story wasn’t over; it was just on pause. Now, with Gregory back at the helm and a bold new digital vision, we’re louder, sharper, and more connected than ever before.
Building on our print heritage, our digital platform now reaches over 10,000 unique visitors each month, while our weekly newsletter engages more than 3,000 subscribers. With live event coverage, video storytelling, and our “Echoes of Oro Valley” podcast, we’re fostering realtime conversations and we can’t wait to reunite digital and print this monsoon season 2025 for the next chapter of our community story.
We’re more than just a local news site. The new Oro Valley Voice is your neighborhood’s media engine: a podcast in your earbuds, a feed in your palm, and soon again, a newspaper in your mailbox. We’ve built a media ecosystem for the modern Oro Valley, powered by real voices, grassroots business stories, and a social wing that doesn’t miss a beat. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a neighbor, or someone who just wants to feel more rooted here, this is your Voice.
By blending bitesized daily updates on social media, indepth weekly articles, and our award-winning “Echoes of Oro Valley” podcast, now with over 30 episodes and counting we meet you where you're. This monsoon season 2025, we’ll reunite digital and print, delivering curated community storytelling directly to your mailbox once again. Together, we’re amplifying local entrepreneurs, celebrating neighborhood achievements, and ensuring every voice in Oro Valley has its moment to be heard.

Our Vision & Hopes for the Future
Oro Valley Voice is more than a news outlet. It is a 360° community platform that blends our print heritage with fresh digital storytelling. From the moment you visit our website or listen to an "Echoes of Oro Valley" podcast, you will find local reporting, business spotlights, and neighborhood voices that are often overlooked. Our weekly newsletter shares the top headlines, event invitations, and civic updates. Our social media channels keep you connected in real time.
This monsoon season, we are bringing back our print edition to reconnect mailbox-to-mailbox, just like when Oro Valley Voice first launched. Looking ahead, we imagine a fully participatory media experience where readers easily move from discovering a small business feature to submitting their own community story. We are planning to grow "Echoes of Oro Valley" into live forums, partner with local schools to inspire future journalists, and launch a youth journalism internship that gives students a voice.
Through all of this, our mission remains clear: amplify local voices, strengthen civic engagement, and keep Oro Valley Voice at the center of the community for today, tomorrow, and the future.
