A prominent Tempe economist will help shape Maricopa’s long-term approach to economic growth.
Jim Rounds, president of Tempe-based Rounds Consulting Group, will work with the city’s Office of Economic Opportunity to develop a strategic plan for economic development in the months ahead.
Rounds introduced himself during last night’s Maricopa City Council meeting and began outlining how his firm can help create what he called an “ultimate economic to-do list” of infrastructure and roadway investment.
“It might be aggressive business recruitment or aggressively bringing in additional healthcare opportunities,” Rounds said.
