Mission Statement

We are a program dedicated to utilizing the resources of the University of Arizona in helping foster economic
development within the State of Arizona, with a special focus on economically distressed areas within the state. We work in
cooperation with local and state development and government agencies, Native American tribes, utility service providers
and other community entities.To this end, we conduct applied and basic research studies culminating in reports that help
inform the public of local economic development issues, and offer practical recommendations on how to address these issues.
