Jeremy Schoenfelder, president of PhoenixMart, LLC, spoke Thursday about economic development during Maricopa Chamber of Commerce’s monthly breakfast at Harrah’s Ak-Chin Casino.
PhoenixMart is a 585-acre master planned community that will include a 1.7- million-square-foot products center. The project is expected to break ground in Casa Grande in July.
Schoenfelder said the “core concept of the center is sourcing product.”
“We have to change our mindset – in the U.S. we think of ourselves as consumers. We have to think of ourselves first of all as a producer,” he said.
