Central Arizona is at the heart of Arizona’s explosive economic growth. Located in the heart of the Sun Corridor, Pinal County continues to experience rapid expansion. Roughly the size of the State of Connecticut, Pinal County measures in at 5,376 sq miles. With a population exceeding 430,000, Pinal County offers many expansion opportunities for new or existing companies looking to serve Arizona customers, or customers in the western region.

The central Arizona region is made up of communities like Casa Grande, Eloy, and Maricopa as well as other unincorporated areas. Central Arizona represents a growing and vibrant population. The region is strategically located halfway between Phoenix and Tucson along the Interstate 10 corridor giving direct access to the markets and amenities of large metropolitan areas. The communities of the central Arizona region have a pro-business attitude and work diligently with industry to ensure that their expansion and relocation goals are met. This includes streamlining the permitting process, assisting with the expedition of the location process, Enterprise Zone state tax incentive assistance and other items necessary to the relocation and expansion process. Unlike larger communities, prospective companies can experience the personal touch directly by elected officials.

In summary, the central Arizona region offers:

• Transportation corridors (I-8, I-10, Highway 87)

• Union Pacific Rail

• Close proximity to regional and international airports

• Excellent primary, secondary and higher education facilities

• Retail and leisure opportunities

• An affordable housing market

• Superb healthcare options
