February 2013 ldquoPublished Monthly for SEAGO Member Entities our Strategic Partners and everyone interested in Southeastern Arizonardquo Vol 3 No 2

To lead well leaders must be both capable and willing to assess the difference between taking action or sitting still It is by far eas-ier to do nothing to stay within the established norm Stretching on the other hand requires effort and courage Effort and courage are exactly the qualities currently demonstrated by the Greenlee County Board of Supervisors by spearheading an economic devel-opment renaissance throughout the 125-mile length of Greenlee County The theme is ldquoGrowing Greenleerdquo

Yes Greenlee County is the unique segment of Arizona known for the convergence of the White Mountains as they meet the Black Hills A magical area that ranks among the best places to live and work anywhere in Arizona High-er-than-average wages and sala-ries year-round hunting fishing and outdoor activities Old West charm tempered with cutting edge technology this is Greenlee County

The Greenlee County Board of Supervisors is in the process of preparing an economic devel-opment strategy that combines both incorporated towns plus the private sector into a suc-cessful economic development plan This plan will leverage the tremendous capital investment currently in the works by the private sector For several months now a systematic outreach program has successfully attracted high quality builders developers investors hoteliers commercial and residential contractors and many others to take a closer look at the multiple layers of opportunity to be unfolded throughout Greenlee County

This process is being augmented by the Greenlee County Tour-ism Council the Business Association of Chase Creek Arizona

(BACCA) the Pride Society the Greenlee County Historical So-ciety the Greenlee County Chamber the Arizona Commerce Authority the Southeastern Arizona Governments Organization (SEAGO) the SBDC the Arizona Workforce Connection EAC and many many others

On Friday February 22 these en-tities plus contractors sub contrac-tors investors and developers from as far away as Florida and Texas will converge on Clifton at Tylerrsquos Restaurant for the first in a series of Business Opportunity Forums Registration is now open online here wwwgrowinggreenleeorgat-tend

The Opportunity Tourin Greenlee

The skies are just a little bit brighter and blu-

er in Greenlee County in large part due to the

high demand for quality employees spurred by

the private sector The fact that Freeport McMo-

Ran is expanding output is not a secret The huge

growth of countries like China India and Brazil

have placed a premium on the value of copper

needed for both residential and commercial con-

structionBut as the recent ASU Report ldquoKeep the Green

in Greenleerdquo reveals there are multiple reasons

why Greenlee county is the fastest growing coun-

ty in Arizona Rivers valleys mountains and

trails is not just the name of the Greenlee County

Tourism Council it is the way of life in this ma-

jestic and tranquil home to everything from Big

Horn Sheep on the ground to Golden Eagles and

Sand Hill Cranes in the skies Recent Opportunity Tours have stirred devel-

opers and builders to set their sights on Greenlee

County for many reasons To take your own Opportunity Tour contact

The ACA has been awarded an $80000 grant from the SBA to prepare Arizonarsquos small high-tech companies to compete more effectively for federal SBIRSTTR Phase I and II awards and ultimately com-mercialize their innovations in Phase III ACA will provide an additional $200000 in matching funds and in-kind services

The Needmiddot Arizona has an opportunity to

address a skill gap that has resulted in a relatively low percentage of grant wins for Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I awards In 2011 the top five states (California Massachusetts Virginia New York and Texas) were granted nearly 50 of the 3268 SBIR Phase I awards Arizona ranked 19th among competing states re-ceiving only 18 or 58 awards

middot The low number of awards (115 last year) as a percentage of Arizona pro-posals submitted indicates an area of op-portunity to provide technical assistance to serve small business owners particularly those owned by women minorities and veterans throughout Arizona

ACA Gets Money to Help Small High-tech Arizona Companies Compete in

Commerce Authority structured program of training and technical assistance en-abling high-growth potential small tech-nology firms to compete more effectively for federal SBIRSTTR Phase I and II awards and ultimately commercialize their innovations in Phase III
