A coalition of more than 100 business leaders and associations have signed on to a letter urging the state Legislature to support the continuation of the Arizona Commerce Authority, the statewide economic development agency that has helped strengthen and diversify the Arizona economy.
“This letter demonstrates the tremendous support the ACA has from job creators across the state, from communities urban and rural, and from groups representing a broad swath of industries,” Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry President and CEO Danny Seiden said. “We look forward to working with members of both parties to ensure that the ACA can continue its excellent work recruiting good jobs to Arizona and helping to grow our economy.”
The ACA this year is undergoing its sunset review, a process that applies to state agencies in which the state Legislature reviews findings by the Office of the Auditor General and determines whether an agency should continue and, if so, for how long.
