“As Arizona’s flagship, land-grant university, our focus at the U of A is on serving our community and state, especially in the creation of economic opportunity.  This includes seeding new industry, supporting existing Arizona businesses, and attracting new companies that can benefit from alignment and engagement with our faculty, staff, and impressive graduates. We are proud to work with Sun Corridor in this vital mission.”

“The health and well-being of those in our community is inextricably linked to economic vitality.  Strong economic development creates better employment opportunities that lead to improved access to health care, stable housing and nutritious food. This in turn supports preventive care, reduces chronic disease burden and enables families to prioritize wellness. Additionally, robust medical and health infrastructure is an important component for companies looking to relocate or expand in Southern Arizona.”

“I’m involved in Sun Corridor to serve our community in a way that creates maximum positive impact. I believe Sun Corridor’s collaborative approach engaging businesses, educational institutions, and local governments has significantly enhanced the region’s economic profile, making it a competitive and attractive for investment and talent.”

“We’re a strong believer in economic development – it’s a pretty simple equation to know that in our business if our community does well, we do well. So economic development has always been part of our plan, in particular as Sun Corridor Inc. was formed. We’ve been very enthusiastic in our support for Sun Corridor Inc. and the work that’s being done.”

“We see our partnership with Sun Corridor as critical to our ability for our business to grow. When Sun Corridor works to recruit businesses to come to Tucson and also helps businesses expand in Tucson, that helps our business. It’s a very strategic partnership.”
