PHX East Valley
Occasionally, I come across an intriguing organization with a compelling mission and I like to share the information. The PHX East Valley Partnership is a 501(c)(6) nonpartisan coalition of civic, business, education, healthcare, and political leaders dedicated to the economic development and promotion of the PHX East Valley cities, towns, and Native American Communities. The main cities included are Apache Junction, Chandler, Fountain Hills, Gilbert, Mesa, Queen Creek, and Tempe. This partnership advocates for economic development, education, transportation, and infrastructure needs, plus healthcare and other issues of importance to local businesses and citizens.
The following are some interesting graphics from their annual Economic Profile publication.
Maricopa County is still the fastest growing county in the country and it is evident that the East Valley is a major contributor to the reasons behind that!
