“Ali’s all about promoting everything that’s great about Tucson,” Medcoff said. “That includes the sunny weather of southern Arizona, the Air Force and military presence, the hospitality of the area and the great nonprofits — the people who care about making others’ lives better.”
The economic impact in the area from a successful bowl game is, of course, a big deal. But giving back to the community is not simply lip service either. The NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl is one of a kind in donating all bowl proceeds to nonprofits in the community. #news
Bowl is about Tucson, not ESPN
That didn’t matter to fans of the University Wyoming and Georgia State University football teams who squared off Dec. 31 in the Arizona Bowl at Tucson. …“Arizona ranked third overall as the top moving destination in 2019, according to an annual study by United Van Lines. Last year, 63.2% of all Arizona moves were inbound compared to 36.8% that were outbound. Arizona rose two spots from the 2018 survey.” #news #tucsonmeansbusiness
Arizona gaining as top state for newcomers, study says
According to an annual study of where moving trucks are headed, Arizona had the third-highest percentage of inbound moves, said United Van Lines.Thanks for sharing Tucson Metro Chamber!
Any idea the percentage in Pima County?
“Michael Guymon, vice president of the Tucson Metro Chamber, agreed with Taylor and Plane that Arizona’s low cost of living and climate make it a great place to do business. He said Tucson employers work hard to attract potential employees to the area, and that contributes to increased migration.
“The labor market is tight so if they can’t find talent locally, they have to import from other states,” he said.
Although Guymon cautioned that continued growth could be a “strain on our resources” if not properly planned for, he welcomes the population boom.
“If you’re a community that’s not growing, you’re dying,” he said.” #news #tucsonmeansbusiness
