Uber has opened a second Phoenix office in downtown Phoenix Thursday, where the ride-sharing company will create hundreds of jobs, reports Jesse A. Millard for Phoenix Business Journal.
Uber cited the caliber of workers in Phoenix as a reason for locating its Center of Excellence here, as well as support for innovation from Gov. Doug Ducey and other state leaders.
Uber has had an up and down ride in Arizona over the past year. Last year, then-Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill that would have codified regulations for ride-sharing startups such as Uber.
