Capital injection around Maricopa could ease traffic headed north on weekday mornings.
Pinal County’s director of economy and workforce, James Smith, said Arizona’s third-most populous county is a burgeoning hub of investment opportunities.
“It’s incredible how much is happening and how fast it’s happening,” Smith told the Maricopa school board last week.
According to Smith, a library of projects will directly create more than 13,500 jobs and attract more than $10 billion in capital investment to Pinal County. It’s all part of a strategic goal to create new jobs and keep more people in town.
Although more people live in Maricopa than any other city in Pinal County, most of the injection is scattered elsewhere — San Tan Valley, Queen Creek and Coolidge.
