If Queen Creek can be summed up in one word, it’s growth.
“It’s more challenging to be a Queen Creek where you’ve got people coming in at a ferocious rate compared to if you are relatively stable,” economist Alan Maguire said. “You have more time to react.
They have to react every single day.”
The key to the town’s success, is staying ahead of that growth. But that is a good problem to have, he said.
“With the people comes the revenue. They do a lot of good planning,” he said. Maguire, a consultant for Queen Creek who discussed Arizona’s economy with Queen Creek Town Council earlier this month.
“They are thinking about their water, their wastewater, their street plans. So that’s a really good thing. What hurts a growing community is when they get behind the curve.”
