The Governor expressed gratitude to “hard-working entrepreneurs and employees for their investments and commitments” in the state’s communities. He also thanked the Arizona Commerce Authority’s President and CEO Sandra Watson and her team for their efforts in working with companies in job creation.
On the other hand, Watson said, “I’m very proud that we had yet another record-breaking year, evidence that Arizona’s unique value proposition continues to resonate with business decision-makers worldwide.”
Since its establishment in 2011, the Arizona Commerce Authority completed 750 projects with companies that promised to create more than 138,000 new jobs and invest $21.6 billion in the state.
Since 2015, Arizona added more than 300,000 new private sector jobs. The state’s economy is one of the fastest growing in the United States.
