Robust. Growing. Strong.
All describe the region's economy. In Southern Arizona, the potential for economic progress is skyrocketing with a confluence of three variables: People, Place, and Promise.
People.
The continuing in-migration of people positively impacts the economy and translates directly into increased labor availability. Tucson is rapidly becoming a location of choice nationally, attracting major companies like La Costeña/Arizona Canning Co. LLC.
In late 2006 Pima County reached a major milestone when the population exceeded one million inhabitants. Achieving this milestone will enable Tucson to become a major player nationally, attracting major corporations, retailers, restaurants, arts, theater and a host of other services to the area.
Place.
The region's strategic central Southwestern location serves as a manufacturing, transportation and distribution center for Mexico, California and the central/western United States. A mild, high desert environment and numerous outdoor activities creates one of the most balanced living/working environments in the country.
Promise.
With a diverse cross-section of prospering business from world-class travel and tourism to a resurging mining sector to a growing presence of "clean" manufacturing, the Tucson region is emerging as a major industrial center. High-tech and manufacturing are on the rise, along with aerospace, optics, biotech and other expanding fields.
The right combination of positive influences make the Tucson region a great place to work, live, play, and most importantly, prosper.
