If you want to understand why our quality of life in Arizona continues to improve while our population continues to grow, energy is a big part of the answer.
For years, local and state officials have been applying Arizona’s pro-business attitude on other economic inputs — such as low taxes, commonsense regulations and a skilled workforce — to the energy that makes businesses run. From nuclear to solar, hydropower to natural gas, Arizona communities have an open attitude toward energy sources, and that makes them a magnet for new investment and jobs.
In just the past few years, Pinal County’s approach to energy has been a major factor in attracting major investments from the likes of LG Energy Solution, Kohler and Procter & Gamble. This approach has also supported the expansion of local small businesses and the creation of good-paying jobs that make communities attractive for working families.
