It is a city that was originally founded by a titan of American industry, so it makes perfect sense that industrial building would be triggering a development boom in the City of Goodyear.
The city was created when the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company bought the land in 1917 to grow cotton for its tires. Now, more than 100 years later, Goodyear is cementing its reputation as a major leader in industrial development in Arizona. The city has attracted major companies like Amazon, Ball Corp., Chewy.com and Dick’s Sporting Goods to build manufacturing and distribution centers in the bustling West Valley.
“The City of Goodyear has crafted policies that have made their community a more attractive environment for development,” said Joyce Grossman, executive director of the Arizona Association for Economic Development. “Policies that have lead to the development of the critical infrastructure along the 303 extension which have made the area ripe for speculative building. Through strategic planning by the City, they have maximized the value of this new highway and its easier access to Southern California markets for the industrial/logistics/warehouse projects.”
