Business Environment

If you ever have wanted to help create a dynamic new community, you need look no further than the City of Maricopa. In 2000, Maricopa was home to 1,400 proud residents; today, it has grown to well over 40,000. Incorporated only five years ago, City leaders have worked vigorously to ensure the highest quality of municipal services for its residents.

Maricopa’s proximity to the Greater Phoenix metropolis, coupled with a unique, family-oriented ambiance, draws over 100 new residents each month. With more than 48 percent holding a Bachelor’s Degree or higher, these residents both value the small-town feel and eagerly welcome quality employment, shopping, entertainment and other amenities.

New home construction is only a part of Maricopa’s promise and potential. Already, Maricopa is fast becoming a “clean and green” industry hub as home to Pinal Energy, the state’s first ethanol plant, and Yulex, a producer of organic hypo-allergenic latex from desert crops.

Maricopa also offers a large supply of developable commercial and industrial property with highway access, all of which is located in an Enterprise Zone. The City is eager to assist you with exploring sites in the area and identifying the tools to best benefit your project, including Industrial Development Authority bonds, participation in our Fast Track Program, or locating in our future Redevelopment District with tax incentive opportunities.
