Winning is a team effort, and Team Arizona has had a very productive 2018 when it comes to attracting new companies to locate here or to expand their current operations.
Arizona’s team is led by a growing workforce, as the state climbed past the 7 million mark for population. Of those people, more than half are located in Maricopa and Pinal counties and companies have been drawn to those two counties. Other role players for Arizona is the solid, modern infrastructure that is in place, as well as a climate of collaboration among officials on the local, county and state level.
“What companies are citing as reasons to move to Arizona are the labor makeup and workforce availability, as well as infrastructure readiness and speed to market,” said Mitchel Allen, director of business development for the Greater Phoenix Economic Council. “Obviously being in a pro-business region or state certainly helps. We’re certainly winning a lot of deals because of that.”
