PHOENIX—Greater Phoenix East Valley communities are leaders in Arizona economic development that is driving advanced business expansion, specialized job growth, higher wages and innovation. PHX East Valley is a national initiative led by the East Valley Partnership to advance business and quality of life in the region. Campaign efforts include coordinated business market reports, public and private sector networking events, and promotion of emerging economic clusters unique to the community.

PHX East Valley is comprised of the Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek, and Apache Junction cites. Global companies with headquarters in the region include The Boeing Company, General Motors, GoDadddy, Intel, Wells Fargo, Yelp and emerging leaders such as Able Engineering, InfusionSoft, Insight and more. Growth among advanced industries has aided a commercial and residential real estate recovery. Development has transformed local cities into bustling urban hot spots attractive to younger workforces, families and empty nesters that demand a work and play destination.

As part of the initiative, East Valley Partnership released a comprehensive economic profile earlier this year, including stats and facts on everything from climate, to population demographics, real estate averages and education trends in the PHX East Valley.
