Pinal Central
Pinal County’s top economic development official was honored by his peers this month for accomplishments related to recruiting industry and businesses.
But Economic Development Manager Tim Kanavel’s biggest accomplishment may be that he did his job well while also waiting for a kidney transplant.
“I had a double transplant in 2009 of the kidney and pancreas,” Kanavel said in a county press release. “The transplanted kidney has failed and I am on the list awaiting a new one.”
