GLENDALE’S ASCENT TO ECONOMIC GREATNESS FEATURED IN MEDIA
Our hardworking Economic Development and Development Services departments have proven they have the “secret sauce” for strong, smart growth, as demonstrated by recent stories in “Az Business” magazine.
Their business-friendly approach to attracting and supporting companies that want to set up shop or expand their operations in Glendale has led to exciting, new developments including the VAI Resort that is under construction. The Economic Development and Development Services departments’ talent and savvy approach to planning have also lured Red Bull, Rauch Fruit Juices and Ball Corporation here, as well as sparked “billion-dollar investments” by Nestlé USA and White Claw’s investments in the city.
