I have been in the property management business for over 20 years. Deciding I did not like the way Owners and Tenants were being treated, I decided to open my own business in 2006. I love getting new owners and tenants who were referred by satisfied customers. I strive to operate my business with INTEGRITY being my main objective. – Dee Dee Hulverson, Broker/Owner

CASA GRANDE AS A DESTINATION ECONOMY
Casa Grande is where people throughout the region come to shop and dine. Retail sales taxes constitute almost 1/5 to total City revenues and are used to pay for a large share of City services including parks, trails, recreation programs, fire, police and roads. Encouraging development and other activities that continue to support the City’s role as a regional retail and entertainment leader is important.

PUBLIC HEALTH
Land use and transportation planning are essential to building a healthy community. Planning decisions intersect with many public health crises, including obesity, diabetes, physical activity, and fatal accidents. It is important for any long-range plan to consider the public health effects of planning decisions. As the county’s largest city and home to many of the county’s medical and health services, Casa Grande has a particular responsibility to plan to mitigate chronic health conditions that are affected by the built environment, provide access to medical facilities and emergency services, and encourage physical activity and safe active transportation.
As stated in the 2018 Community Health Needs Assessment, Pinal County has particular challenges to planning for healthy communities, given the county’s particularly diverse population by age, ethnicity and balance of urban and rural residency. As of 2019, Pinal County is 7th out of all Arizona counties for public health outcomes. This ranking is determined by an assessment of the built environment, social and economic factors, medical access and health behaviors.

RURAL HERITAGE

Pinal County has long been an agriculturally rich region, and Casa Grande’s history of blending commercial agricultural and rural lifestyles is integral to the City’s character today. Generations of families have settled in Casa Grande to tend the land since its incorporation, and these family farms have contributed to the growth and economic vitality of the City.
Source: 2030 City of Casa Grande General Plan casagrandeaz.gov/2030-general-plan
Over the years, commercial agriculture has grown as new agricultural businesses move into the community to raise livestock and produce dairy, cotton, wheat, and other agricultural products. Rural land use areas realize the economic potential of the City’s agricultural lands without compromising the rural lifestyle of the surrounding areas. Central to this lifestyle are the natural, unobstructed views of the region and the wealth of native wildlife and vegetation that are treasured by residents.
Preserving rural areas will discourage unplanned sprawl and maintain Casa Grande’s diverse economic and lifestyle offerings. It will also minimize negative impacts of development on adjacent Tribal Community agricultural lands, creating harmonious land uses within the overarching region.
TRANSPORTATION

Industries, manufacturers and commercial/industrial developers continue to find that Casa Grande’s central location, climate, proximity to major metropolitan areas, and transportation infrastructure, including two interstates and railroad tracks, make it an ideal inland port for shipping.
Casa Grande is located in Pinal County, between the cities of Phoenix and Tucson, AZ. Interstate 10 (I-10), passes through Casa Grande’s east side and is the interstate connecting Los Angeles, CA to Jacksonville, FL through Houston, TX, Baton Rouge, LA and Biloxi, MS. Interstate 8 is located within the southern portion of the city’s planning area, originates at the I-10 in Casa Grande, and connects Casa Grande to the San Diego area. The active Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) tracks connecting Los Angeles, CA to El Paso, TX are located in the southwest portion of the city. The city limits include approximately 112 square miles of land. The City Planning Area, which includes land outside the city limits and planned to be annexed in the future, includes nearly 269 square miles of land north and south of the I-8 between the Tohono O’Odham and Gila River Indian Communities and to the west by the Ak-Chin Indian Community.

WATER
Before recording plats or selling parcels within Casa Grande, developers must demonstrate any unsubdivided lot has a 100year assured water supply and possess a certificate of Assured Water Supply provided by the AZ Department of Water Resources (AWDR).
The Casa Grande Planning Area includes eight water providers including the City’s water system formerly known as Copper Mountain Ranch (shown in black). Inside the planning area, there are over 214 issued certificates of Assured Water Supply (estimated 63,000 developed and undeveloped lots). These lots are generally shown in green hatch. An estimated 25,000 lots with Certificates of Assured Water Supply are unconstructed at this time.
The largest water provider inside the City’s planning area is Arizona Water Company serving 63% of the planning area. Arizona Water Company has nearly 20,000 customers inside Casa Grande’s planning area and provides around 12,000 acre-feet of water to these customers. Approximately 63% of Arizona Water Company’s connections are residential customers and 37% are non-residential.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES

UNITING THE VISION – PINAL PARTNERSHIP ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN PINAL COUNTY
Pinal County has become the fastest growing county in Arizona with some of the most exciting possibility in the country. With so many diverse resources and so much opportunity, Pinal Partnership was formed in 2005 to bring together all the people and ideas that will ultimately lead Pinal County to its full potential.
Recent economic development wins in Pinal County attest to the success of partnerships between municipal, state and private sector leaders to see this vision come to fruition. Lucid Motors delivered the first greenfield electric vehicle factory in North America, located in Casa Grande. The Lucid Air started rolling off the production line in October 2021. Nikola Motor Company in Coolidge broke ground on their manufacturing plant to begin production of hydrogen electric and electric semi-trucks. Additional supply chain and manufacturing support companies will follow to bring thousands of quality jobs in coming years. With this explosive growth comes the challenge to ensure infrastructure, housing and workforce development meet the demands of the coming era. Pinal Partnership’s committees are focused on business and education, government relations, transportation, infrastructure and water resources among other key issues.
