Letter from the Chamber President & CEO

GLENDALE CHAMBER CONTRIBUTES TO ECONOMIC IMPACT

Renaming of Bethany Home Road to Cardinals Way

by Robert Heidt, President & CEO, Glendale Chamber of Commerce

t is my pleasure to introduce you and/or your business to our community. As the President & CEO of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce it is my commitment to you to ensure that economic prosperity remains a top priority in the City of Glendale. The Glendale Chamber has worked diligently to form relationships with civic and business leaders in our community. This has resulted in a cohesive partnership that has allowed us to build a strong and vibrant city where old and new businesses prosper. As we work to achieve our vision “for Glendale to have a prosperous business community” and become a more traveled destination, we know we cannot do it alone. The Glendale Chamber works closely with the Office of the Mayor, City Council,

City Manager and the Department of Economic Development to strategize ways to grow our community. As Glendale continues to grow and expand its footprint in the West Valley, being a community where residents can live, work and play has become a top priority. Recently, we embarked on a trip to Washington, D.C. to allow our city’s voice to be heard on a national level. The Glendale Chamber has also teamed up with the West Valley Chambers of Commerce Alliance to partner with Fennemore Craig, a leading Mountain West regional law firm, to represent the collective interests of businesses in the West Valley on public policy issues at a statewide level. You can read more about both initiatives within this edition of Glendale LIVING. The Glendale Chamber is one of

the largest chambers in the state of Arizona and is the largest business organization in the West Valley representing over 1,300 members. We aim to connect, impact and ensure prosperity in all that we do. As a member-based organization we rely on member investments to accomplish our program of work. When you invest in the Chamber you are not only investing in your business and network opportunities, but you are investing in political and legislative advocacy, economic development and a positive business climate. Your investment allows you to enjoy a high quality of life in our city! If you are interested in learning more about the Glendale Chamber, I encourage you to visit glendaleazchamber.org or reach out to me directly at 623-937-4754.

Sincerely,

Robert W. Heidt, Jr. President & CEO Glendale Chamber of Commerce

WITH TIME, YOU COULD BE SAVING PRECIOUS RESOURCES

by Jerry P. Weiers, Mayor, Glendale

W Xeriscape landscaping, or xeriscaping as it is known, is the practice of designing a landscape using native, drought tolerant plants that require little watering beyond nature’s seasonal rains.

GLENDA LE LI V ING

ater conservation and managing our water usage is a key initiative facing Arizona. Living in the desert combined with our current usage practices require that we as a community come together to reduce our footprint and use of this necessary natural resource. Our Water Department has a division dedicated to providing residents and business owners with sustainable ideas to help reduce water use while also being more efficient with water usage. The Glendale Conservation & Sustainable Living division offers classes on gardening, xeriscape design and maintenance and irrigation tips and tricks to align your household or business with our limited desert resources. The division has a monthly newsletter email distribution list that anyone can subscribe to which provides readers with watering tips specific to the current season as well as upcoming class opportunities. Recent classes provided information about green living, watershed management, selecting the best trees for your yard and vegetable gardening tips. The division also offers residents, businesses and even Home Owners Associations (HOA) the opportunity to apply and receive rebates for grass to xeriscape landscape conversions. Xeriscape landscaping, or xeriscaping as it is known, is the practice of designing a landscape using native, drought tolerant plants that require little watering beyond nature’s seasonal rains. Residents can earn up to $750 and HOA/commercial properties can earn up to $3,000 with a landscape rebate. So far, over 5,400 Glendale residents have converted their landscapes and earned rebates. The division doesn’t just focus on the exterior yards and landscape in its conservation efforts. It also provides guidance to residents for reducing energy costs and usage within their homes. With up-to-date tips and tricks on reducing water waste by installing efficient low-water-use toilets, shower heads, dishwashers and faucets, residents can reduce their monthly bill by reducing their water use.

In fact, the division recently expanded its commercial property support by starting a program that provides a free Commercial Facility Water Assessment. Glendale Water Efficiency Partner Program allows Water Services staff to review a commercial property’s (businesses, nonprofits, HOAs and multifamily property) history of water usage combined with an inventory of fixtures that use water to identify simple ways the property could reduce water usage, saving time and money. I encourage you to learn more about the landscaping rebates, the free classes or any other of the resources available by calling 623-930-3596 or visiting online at www.glendaleaz.com/waterconservation.

THE NEED FOR SPEED PUSHES ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

by Kevin Phelps, City Manager, City of Glendale

To move quickly from the “handshake to the ground break,” there are experts in 17 different city divisions, including permitting, planning and zoning, building safety and the water and fire departments.

id you know 75 billion cans of Red Bull have been sold across the world? That’s a lot of liquid energy people are enjoying, and by early 2021 Red Bull will also be energizing Glendale with a new multimillion-dollar facility. Red Bull, Ball Corporation and Rauch Fruit Juices have partnered to build a new manufacturing plant on an undeveloped area south of Peoria Avenue near the Loop 303. The economic impact will be significant for Glendale, its residents and the region. The key to securing the facility was our ability to be responsive to the needs of these major-brand business partners. We demonstrated — at the very first meeting — that we would get them everything they needed on an expedited schedule. That meeting was “all-hands-ondeck” and included a team of city leaders and directors at the highest level of city departments. In the private sector, speed is money. The sooner a business is up-and-running, the better it is for them. But speed is

also important for the city, because when businesses are in operation, we have additional income for things that serve residents like parks, streets and police. It’s difficult to overstate the importance of “speed to market” for economic development projects. That’s where a project can easily get derailed. For us, it’s our “secret sauce” and our city team is proving that timeand-again. To move quickly from the “handshake to the ground break,” there are experts in 17 different city divisions, including permitting, planning and zoning, building safety and the water and fire departments. Typically, re-zoning and design review can each take several months. The review of blueprints can take three months. Inspections sometimes take a year. If all the numerous items and approvals are done in a one-byone approach, the process can take years. But we’re adept at staggering items to occur simultaneously, in parallel fashion.

Recent examples of “success with speed” are: • American Furniture Warehouse. Design review took two weeks instead of the standard four to six months. • BMW’s rezoning application was approved in fall 2017, and the dealership went from groundbreaking to grand opening in a little over a year. • 2017 was “full-speed-ahead” for Topgolf. The project was heard before the Planning Commission in August, followed by City Council approval in September and design review approval shortly after that. The new plant is a catalyst in an area we call The New Horizon. It surrounds Luke Air Force Base on all sides, stretching from Cotton Lane to Dysart Road and from Peoria Avenue to Camelback Road. It has plenty of room for more development, and each new business partner can be assured that we’ll value our relationship and will use our power of teamwork and “secret sauce” to meet their desired timeline.

THE SEEDS OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ARE SPROUTING, THRIVING THROUGHOUT GLENDALE by Ian Hugh, Glendale Councilman, Cactus District

ne of the greatest joys of home gardening is watching the amazing transformation that happens when a small planted seed grows into something incredible. However, as every gardener knows, simply planting a seed is not the end of the gardener’s work. The seed must be planted at the right time of the season, in the right area and at the right soil depth. It must be nurtured by water and sunlight. It must be protected from weeds and other hazards that could impede its growth. With this care, the seed may eventually sprout, grow and mature, perhaps even producing flowers or fruit. Economic development in a city is like gardening. Seeds of opportunities are constantly being planted and nurtured over days, weeks, months, years and even decades. Everyone’s goal is for these seeds to eventually grow and produce the fruit of jobs, revenue and benefit the community. I am proud to share that the last year was a very fruitful year for the City of Glendale in both new development and job opportunities. Our 2019 harvest is even more robust. I would like to share

just a few of the many fruits of new construction, new jobs and new revenues that have been announced just in the last few months, both large and small. In March 2019, it was announced that Red Bull, Rauch Fruit Juices and Ball Corporation had selected Glendale as the preferred location for their newest 700,000+ square foot beverage filling and distribution facility. This 134-acre site is logistically ideal to serve the increasing demand of the growing U.S., Mexican and Canadian markets. Construction will start in the coming months, which will produce more than 600 construction-related jobs and more than 200 permanent jobs. Holiday Inn and Marriott are constructing two new 100-room hotels in the Westgate Entertainment District. The hotel buildings will be 62,000 and 68,000 square feet, respectively, and will bring 140 new hospitality jobs to Glendale. Corning Optics, the global leader in providing cutting-edge material and optical solutions in the semiconductor, microfabrication and consumer electronics world, announced an exciting expansion to its Glendale high-

tech manufacturing center. The expansion is expected to create 200 new highly skilled computer numerical (CNC) machine jobs. Connect Express, an Arizona family-owned, North American transportation and logistics company, has located its corporate headquarters and logistics center in the Grand Avenue Industrial Corridor. This action brought nearly 50 new jobs to Glendale. Lastly, the Academy of Math and Science broke ground on a new multistory, 84,000-squarefoot Class A public charter school

building, which will employ more than 120 teachers. The school specializes in STEM education for K-eighth grade students and is located at 45th and Glendale avenues, in the heart of the City Council designated Redevelopment District. Through the vision of the City Council and the tremendous work of the City Manager and City staff, we have accomplished a bountiful harvest of new jobs, development and opportunities for Glendale. I am very excited to see what blooms next!

TAKE ON CRIME THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN! by Sgt. John Roth, Public Information Office, Glendale Police Department

Criminals search for “fishing holes” or easy targets within a community. Once they have luck in a spot, like any predator, they will keep returning.

s a law enforcement organization, we often stress to homeowners the impact that design and behavior have on a community. An involved and conscientious neighborhood is a prosperous neighborhood. This is a neighborhood where families want to move, creating fruitful investments for all. Glendale Police officers often utilize “Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design” as a way to help homeowners create a safe environment. C.P.T.E.D. is defined as the proper design and effective use of the built environment to lead to a reduction in fear, incidence of crime and an improvement in the quality of life. Simplified, it means improving the safety and security of your home through design and upkeep. Simple actions like keeping the landscaping clear, the use of lighting and ensuring that doors and windows are locked can all add to making your property uninviting to the opportunistic criminal. These efforts are very impactful if done by one homeowner, but even more beneficial if adopted by an entire neighborhood. Criminals search for “fishing holes” or easy targets within a community. Once they have luck in a spot, like any predator, they will keep returning. A little effort goes a long way. Crime prevention through environmental design involves small things that we all can do to minimize our chances of becoming a victim. We work hard for our personal belongings; we need to put in the work to protect them. Things like making sure your doors and windows lock on your home is one way to do this. If the sliding windows or doors do not lock, place a piece of wood in the track to keep it from being slid open until repaired. Remember as well that dog doors are not just efficient for animal access into the home. Get into the habit of locking your vehicles every night. We have all seen videos of criminals walking from driveway to driveway checking vehicle door handles. Catch up on the “honey do’s” by trimming back large bushes that cover windows and entryways. You want neighbors and officers on patrol to be able to see if someone is on your property. Use porch lights, landscape lighting or motion sensors to illuminate those dark corners of the yard. Even a “beware of dog” sign can make someone think twice about jumping a fence. Don’t be shy and talk to your neighbors. Know the vehicles that belong in the neighborhood and the schedules of when your neighbors are usually gone. The simple art of making eye contact with a stranger can be enough to scare them away. Use the checklist included on this page to conduct your own C.P.T.E.D., then be a good neighbor and share what you learned.

NOT A TYPICAL HOME by Ashley Losch, Firefighter and Public Information Officer, Glendale Fire Department

Captain Jarrett White makes himself some lunch in the kitchen at firehouse 151.

ou may not think of a firehouse as a home, but it is. It has a living room, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms just like most homes. It has pictures on the wall and decorations from the past. Every firehouse is different, and they all have a uniqueness to them. Each bedroom is garnished with lockers containing pictures from home and beds covered in individualized sheets and blankets. You will often find a superhero comforter or a homemade blanket on a firehouse bed. It may not seem like a typical home, but it is our home, and we take pride in it. Fire stations are cleaned daily, floors are swept and mopped, trash is taken out and kitchens are wiped down. They are probably cleaned more frequently than our real homes. The only difference is we live in our fire-station home part time, and we share it with lots of other people. As Glendale firefighters, we work 24-hour shifts starting and ending

at 8 a.m. With this schedule we eat, cook, work, train, exercise and sleep in our firehouse, our home away from home. Firehouses host holidays and birthdays; we decorate with Christmas trees and lights; and sometimes we even bake cookies. And though a firehouse may not seem like a home in the typical sense, it truly is, because in this home is a family. Firefighters are a family made up of brothers and sisters from all walks of life, religions and backgrounds. We

SUMMER 2019 • THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EDITION

learn about each other around the kitchen table the same way families do when they sit down for dinners at night. We talk about our kids and parents. We make travel plans and ask for advice from one another. Together we run on the emergencies of the community we serve, being welcomed into residents’ homes. We see families in their worst moments during a medical emergency or a house fire. We defend their homes when they are on fire, and we do everything we can to recover their most prized possessions at all times, considering the loss and fear they must be feeling. If there is one thing you learn as a firefighter, a home is all about who is in it. It isn’t about how big it is or what is inside it. We make memories in our home that last a lifetime. In the morning when our shift is over, we leave the firehouse to return to our homes, always knowing we will return to our firehouse in two short days and see our second family.

COMMUNITY ROOTS Glendale is one of the Valley’s fastest growing communities. Looking into the City’s history, one can’t help but notice the diversity of its people and the areas that make up Glendale’s footprint. At its center, historic 100-year-old buildings, to the north an education hub with high income households, to the southwest a vibrant entertainment district and farther west, acres of opportunity ready to be developed along the Loop 303. This area is the budding city center of the West Valley, already the en-

tertainment hub for nearly 2 million residents in the West Valley. Regional population growth is quickly shifting west, which positions the district to be at the center of it all. We provide an unparalleled quality of life for residents and unmatched experiences for our visitors. Growth has been exponential, but it doesn’t happen by chance. It is the result of years of relationship building coupled with a vision provided by Glendale’s City Council and City Manager and superb colleagues here at the City. Looking into the future, in

xcitement continues to build around all things tech. The new hype is electronic sports, commonly known as E-sports. The E-sports industry was estimated at $865 million in 2018 and is expected to double to $1.79 billion by 2022. The Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) has announced its plans to create an E-sports league for high school students. Arizona State University also has its own teams. Glendale venues are taking notice in the Westgate area. For many of these locations, the process of updating infrastructure is crucial to accommodate potential E-sports competitions because of the high level of internet connectivity required to play. This industry is providing another opportunity for great

economic impact to our community in addition to allowing people of all ages to be part of a larger community to compete with and against, whether in the same room or digitally across the world. This idea of being able to compete online has gained much attention, but technology is also connecting us to our surroundings. As smart city technology becomes more readily available, Glendale continues to explore opportunities on how technology can help benefit the efficiency of operations. With the growth Arizona has seen in autonomous vehicle testing, there is a continuous effort to find other ways to stay informed with the environment we operate in. Smart city technology has provided the opportunity to find ways to

use technology and explore how to better use resources benefiting residents and visitors. As technologies evolve, so does the conversation about security. Many local higher education institutions have begun exploring ways to combat vulnerabilities through building cybersecurity programs that bridge theory and real-world threats. Cybersecurity is a growing field in which demand is exceeding supply. It is a profession that is highly rewarded in protecting the platforms we commonly use and not allowing information to be shared without knowledge of the consumer. The tech industry has played and will continue to play a significant role in future development.

CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION IS WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT by Greg Donovan, Superintendent, West-MEC

Because of our stateof-the-art facilities, businesses like PepsiCo and Corning Gilbert have worked with us to create trainings specifically for their employees.

lendale is a city where people can live, work and play. Every day I drive by State Farm Stadium on my way to West-MEC’s corporate center. I see homes being built across the street from my office. When I visit WestMEC’s (Western Maricopa Education Center) Central Campus, Conair’s new distribution center stands tall across Glendale Avenue. And when I talk to our students, I am reminded of what role career and technical education (CTE) plays in the city’s fabric. CTE is workforce development. CTE programs, whether taken at a West-MEC campus or at a student’s home high school, provide critical career training and certification preparation. This means high school students are graduating with the credentials they need to go right to work. When students decide to pursue postsecondary education, they have a leg up on their peers. A 2016 Fordham Institute study shows that CTE students are more likely to graduate from high school, enroll in a twoyear college, be employed and earn higher wages. The Central Campus, located next

GLENDA G LENDALE LE LI LIV VING ING • BIZ!

to Glendale Municipal Airport, is the home to six programs: aviation maintenance technology, avionics and drone electronics, coding, law and public safety, precision machining and welding technology. Every program has an advisory council that invites business and industry to be part of the learning process. Members of the advisory council make suggestions for what equipment to invest in, share popular techniques being used in the workforce, provide scholarship and internship opportunities and promote career and CTE in their industry. West-MEC’s primary mission is to serve high school students, but CTE is valuable to all. Adult students can enroll in such certification courses as welding, aviation maintenance and precision machining at the Central Campus. These hours-based programs are designed to accommodate work schedules and do not adhere to typical semester schedules. Because of our state-of-the-art facilities, businesses like PepsiCo and Corning Gilbert have worked with us to create trainings specifically for their employees. We are proud to partner with Project SEARCH for one-year school-to-

work programs focused on empowering young adults with disabilities. Project SEARCH interns learn job skills at three sites: Renaissance Phoenix-Glendale Hotel, Core-Mark ADC and Luke Air Force Base. Once you see a few of our campuses, you’ll notice a theme — they’re bright orange. That’s on purpose. I’ll never build a beige building because West-MEC is not your typical public school experience. We understand that the traditional “sit-and-get” model of teaching doesn’t work for everyone. In its place, West-MEC takes a four-step approach focused on hands-on instruction, leadership training, career-based experiences and classroom learning. Technical skills are important, but so are the less tangible ones like the ability to communicate well, take responsibility and adapt to change. Together, these attributes create good citizens, employees and entrepreneurs. It creates the workforce of tomorrow. When I leave work today, I’ll drive through this great city with pride in my heart knowing CTE helps make Glendale an attractive place to live, work and play.

Don’t Let a Scary-sounding Diagnosis Stop You by Mark Kargela, D.P.T., P.T., OCS, FAAOMPT, Midwestern University Physical Therapy Institute

n physical therapy, we often see patients hesitate to engage in active movement programs due to fears of their diagnoses. A diagnosis of degenerative disc disease can strike fear in people and cause them to move more carefully, with significant added tension. Attempting to move with caution so as to protect the disc can even increase the pain by compressing pain-sensitive structures in the spine. It is important to recognize that degenerative disc diagnoses are a normal part of aging, despite how scary they can sound. A study of 3,110 pain-free people showed that all age groups experience disc degeneration. Here are the percentages of study participants in each age group who had disc degeneration:

Age % of participants with disc or joint degeneration 20s. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 37% 30s. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 52% 40s. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 68% 50s. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 80% 60s. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 88% 70s. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 93% 80s. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 96% So in actuality, findings of disc degeneration on an MRI or X-ray are a normal part of aging and not a reason to limit activities or cause fear of movement. In my opinion, calling degenerative disc conditions a “disease” is something like calling a receding hair line a “degenerative scalp disease.” If you have general pain or even a scary diagnosis, a physical therapist can thoroughly examine you and help find ways to get you moving again, while ad-

dressing your unique concerns and movement goals. Together, through manual therapy and exercise interventions, you can develop an independent program to help you move better and get back to the activities that are meaningful to you.

UNITE WITH A VOICE IN PUBLIC POLICY “The Glendale Chamber of Commerce, comprised of over 1,300 active members, is proud to partner with the other West Valley chambers to ensure our voice is heard and active on issues important to business and the West Valley.” — Robert Heidt

he West Valley Chambers of Commerce Alliance (WVCCA) provides coordination of shared programs and benefits to advance the common business interests of the Buckeye Valley, Glendale, Peoria, Southwest Valley, Surprise Regional and Wickenburg chambers of commerce. These chambers represent the “Voice of Business” for the towns and cities in the West Valley to include Avondale, Buckeye, El Mirage, Glendale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Peoria, Sun City, Sun City West, Surprise, Tolleson, Wickenburg and Youngtown. The Alliance also serves as the public policy advocacy body on issues impacting the business and economic climate of the areas served by the participating chambers of commerce. To help in this initiative the WVCCA has partnered with Fennemore Craig, a leading regional law firm, to represent the collective interests of businesses in the West Valley on public policy issues. A crucial part of a chamber’s role in the business community is advocating for pro-business policies. With

GLENDA G LENDALE LE LI LIV VING ING • BIZ!

this new partnership the WVCCA has committed to enhancing their effectiveness of advocacy for issues that impact West Valley businesses. West Valley chamber CEOs and representatives of Fennemore Craig will be attending meetings with legislators and lobbying to champion the issues important to the West Valley. The West Valley is a major economic driver in the state of Arizona. Increased legislative representation will help us to gain recognition for the economic impact being made. The purpose of partnering with Fennemore Craig is to give businesses a stronger voice in legislation and to represent the members that make up the six West Valley Chambers collectively. As busy business owners, it is difficult to follow legislative issues and attend public meetings. Therefore, the CEOs of the West Valley Chamber Al-

liance in partnership with Fennemore Craig will be there to mine the halls of government and promote pro-business legislation. “The Glendale Chamber of Commerce, comprised of over 1,300 active members, is proud to partner with the other West Valley chambers to ensure our voice is heard and active on issues important to business and the West Valley,” said Glendale Chamber President & CEO, Robert Heidt. The West Valley is continuing to grow rapidly, and the WVCCA is working diligently to ensure the business voice is heard in this trajectory. The chamber alliance exists to be a catalyst for business growth, a convener for leaders and influencers and a champion for stronger communities. Our advocacy efforts will help to ensure we stick to this purpose, creating a stronger West Valley for all.

WHY ADVOCACY MATTERS FOR YOUR BUSINESS AND HOW THE GLENDALE CHAMBER IS PROACTIVELY INVOLVED

he first known business organization to use the term Cha mb e r of Com me rce was founded in Marseilles, France in 1599. Since then, Chambers of Commerce have become vital community resources around the world. Most Chambers of Commerce worldwide were initially developed in response to a government initiative the business community wanted to respond to, and today Chambers of Commerce continue to serve as the voice of business on issues of legislation. This unified and strategic approach to advocacy is important for business owners, economic growth and for the community. Often, new business owners are unclear on the true benefit of having a chamber to represent their interests in issues of local and national policy. When the first law or ordinance is passed that inhibits the growth of their business, however, business owners quickly realize the necessity of having a voice in issues of public policy. The Chamber of Commerce works to build relationships with local and

national officials to prevent legislation that is harmful to economic development and encourage pro-business initiatives. Here in Glendale, advocacy for our members and our community is one of our top priorities as a Chamber of Commerce. We have worked diligently to establish quality relationships with our local and national officials and to involve our members in advocacy issues so we can have a unified voice in issues related to business. Our staff, Board of Directors, Public Policy Council and Political Action Committee all work to proactively advocate for pro-business initiatives. In the 2018 election season, Arizona elected a host of new national representatives, and our organization felt it was important to begin developing relationships with our newly elected officials to effectively advocate for the West Valley. One of our most recent undertakings was working with the City of Glendale to send a delegation of community leaders from Glendale to Washington, D.C. to build relationships with Arizona’s

elected officials. Our organization sent a team of local elected officials, economic development employees, Chamber Board Members and Glendale Chamber President & CEO Robert Heidt to meetings with national representatives on issues pertinent to the West Valley. This dynamic team met with Senators Martha McSally and Kyrsten Sinema, attended a Luke Air Force briefing with Department of Defense officials and Senior Advisor for Baker Donelson Steve Hyjek, visited the United States Chamber of Commerce for a briefing, met with Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick, Congressman David Schweikert, Congressman Greg Stanton, Congressman Paul Gosar, Congressman Andy Biggs, Congressman Ruben Gallego and Congresswoman Debbie Lesko, and toured both ASU's Washington newsroom and the Capitol Rotunda. As a result of this important trip, our organization was able to bring the unique needs of the West Valley’s community to the forefront of our national leaders’ attention. We are thrilled about this progress and committed to continuing to nurture those relationships and advocating for Glendale and the business community.

We have worked diligently to establish quality relationships with our local and national officials and to involve our members in advocacy issues so we can have a unified voice in issues related to business.

THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERNSHIPS by Natalie Lunsford, Marketing and Communications Intern, Glendale Chamber of Commerce

I Aside from helping students in the community, interns have also proved to be of great value to the Glendale Chamber.

nternships are a wonderful opportunity for students to get a glimpse into their field of study in the workplace. It is important that businesses partner with schools to provide internships to the future generation as it will better prepare students for jobs after graduation. The Glendale Chamber has partnered with several schools including Arizona State University, Grand Canyon University, Glendale Union High School and Sandra Day O’Connor High School to offer students internship opportunities. As a Chamber, they find it important to help develop the future leaders of Glendale. Aside from helping students in the community, interns have also proved to be of great value to the Glendale Chamber. By providing a real-life work experience, the Chamber has been able to benefit from their fresh ideas and perspectives. Four of the 16 interns the Glendale Chamber has had over the past five years have turned into full-time employees. This has helped the Chamber save time and money in new-hire training efforts, as well as assisted students in their career goals. There are great benefits to both the employer and the intern during this unique, significant experience.

Employer Benefits:

Student Benefits:

• Employers gain an intern’s skills and services without making a hiring commitment. This allows the business to see the contribution the intern is able to bring to the table with the potential to add him or her to the team. This crucial experience also displays the intern’s work ethic and dedication to the company or organization. • Employers can expose the future generation to their brand. Why do students want to intern? Most likely, it is to gain experience while seeking full-time employment. By hiring interns, organizations have the opportunity to introduce the next generation to their products, services and values. This not only helps market their brand, but it also attracts new traffic. • Employers are able to learn from an intern’s perspective. Fresh, innovative ideas are constantly flowing through young professionals’ minds. Generation Z, born in the mid-1990s to mid2000s, are the next cohort that companies will be hiring. This generation grew up with the internet and during the rise of social media. They are aware of what people want to see, which can be a great addition as they bring new ideas to the workplace.

• Students are able to apply the knowledge and material they are learning in class to a professional environment. • Students gain exposure to their chosen field as they practice handson tasks they would be expected to execute in a professional position. • Students gain communication and relationship building skills as they are introduced to professionals. These connections could potentially lead to additional opportunities and even full-time employment.

My experience as an intern: “Interning at the Glendale Chamber of Commerce has been an enjoyable and enriching experience. I have g a i ne d v a luable sk i l ls that have given me a better understanding of marketing and communications. I worked on blogs, social media posts, editorial writing, email marketing, and basic web design. I also had the opportunity to attend Chamber events where I was able to meet professionals and network. I had a wonderful semester interning for the Director of Marketing and Communications Bre Pope and truly feel as though I have gained beneficial work experience that is related to my academic interests.”

THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EDITION • SUMMER 2019

Acronis SCS Government Relations Manager, Lynndy Smith, and members of the Mesa Industry and Defense Council after a discussion with General McGuire about military workforce recruitment and development.

Acronis SCS is creating jobs for veterans and strengthening our nation’s cyber workforce

cronis SCS has been a trusted partner for the U.S. public sector for 15 years. Acronis SCS opened its doors in Scottsdale at the beginning of April 2019. Previously operating under Acronis, Inc., Acronis SCS is now an independent, small-but-fast-growing tech company that provides data security and cyber protection products to the U.S. government. If you’re not sure what that means, here’s a quick break down: 1. Data security – Everything you touch turns to data. It’s part of how you do business, check your email and track your steps on your watch or phone. The federal government has loads of data too, and that data is constantly traveling from an office to a mobile device or out to the battlefield. Keeping that data safe is a constant battle. There are many sophisticated attackers capable of taking down essential operations or causing disastrous data losses. Acronis SCS strives to improve government security through innovative products that protect data regardless of its location. 2. Cyber protection – Unlike the commercial industry, which tends to ad-

vance quickly in the race to a digitized world, government agencies tend to have more legacy technology. The government operates on massive interconnected systems that are often over 15 years old, making it extremely difficult to not only manage but to monitor and protect. Recovering from a cyber attack can take days, weeks or even months and can cost millions of dollars. That is why Acronis SCS creates specific tools for agencies to easily and cost effectively maintain a secure IT infrastructure while enabling organizations to slowly but surely upgrade to next generation tools and processes. Acronis SCS is being used to ensure mission success across every branch of the U.S. military. At its core, Acronis SCS is committed to the security of our country and to the men and women who serve it. Acronis SCS is a proud participant in SkillBridge, a program designed for veterans transitioning from active duty to civilian careers. By participating in this internship program for veterans, Acronis SCS can continue serving our men and women in uniform, while also building up critical cyber talent within our nation’s workforce.

SUMMER 2019 • THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT EDITION

CEO of Acronis SCS, John Zanni, with Senator Martha McSally at an Arizona State Society event in Washington, D.C.

When asked why he chose Arizona for headquarters, CEO John Zanni says, “I’ve traveled the world many times and I like Arizona. With a great standard of living, low costs and access to university talent, Arizona has the opportunity to be a hotbed for technology. It’s also a state with strong ties to our military and support for veterans,” which he says is a core part of how Acronis SCS runs its business. By the end of 2019, Acronis SCS is projected to employ a staff comprised of 20% veterans. Acronis SCS has already begun putting down roots by connecting with business leaders, local government and technology organizations in the greater Phoenix community. Acronis SCS looks forward to bolstering the economy, attracting new businesses and cultivating cyber talent.

St. Joseph’s Westgate Hospital Celebrating Fifth Anniversary, Looking Forward to Continued Growth

ignity Health St. Joseph’s Westgate Hospital celebrated its fifth anniversary in May with gratitude to the community and plans to continue expanding and improving the services it offers to the West Valley. Since opening on May 13, 2014, the hospital has become a valued member of Glendale and the West Valley, caring for more and more patients every year. Today, St. Joseph’s Westgate Hospital is recognized for medical excellence and compassionate patient care. Healthgrades recently awarded the hospital a 2019 America’s Best 100 Hospitals Award, a recognition that only 2% of U.S. hospitals receive.

“With the West Valley’s strong support, we have been able to grow and enhance our services, including specialized programs in colorectal surgery, robotic surgery, orthopedics, emergency care and bariatrics,” says Tina Brucato-Day, Vice President of Operations at the hospital. “We are grateful to be part of this community.”

Keeping Pace with the West Valley The number of patients coming to St. Joseph’s Westgate has grown significantly in just the past year. For example, 339 patients came to the hospital for surgery in April 2019, compared to 157 in July 2018. The Emergency Department has seen similar growth, caring for 33% more patients in April 2019 than in July 2018. To meet the increasing demand for surgical care, the hospital will open an ambulatory surgery center on its campus in the coming months. The center will feature four operating suites and one procedures room. Two “urgency centers” — offering both emergency care and urgent care — will be added in the West Valley, one at Litchfield and Camelback roads and another at Bell Road and 51st Avenue.

Nationally Recognized for Specialty Care In its first five years, St. Joseph’s Westgate has earned impressive recognition for its

specialty surgical programs. Earlier this year, the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) awarded the hospital Center of Excellence accreditations in both colorectal surgery and robotic surgery. Even more impressively, St. Joseph’s Westgate, along with its sister hospital St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, was the first hospital in Arizona to receive the robotic surgery accreditation, and one of three facilities in the United States to have achieved the Center of Excellence in Colorectal Surgery accreditations. “These accreditations demonstrate our commitment to delivering safe, high-quality care to our patients,” says Brucato-Day. “We are working to earn similar recognition for our weight-loss program.”

Responding to the Obesity Crisis

According to the Centers for Disease Control, obesity affects more than 93 million American adults and contributes to many health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, stroke and osteoarthritis. St. Joseph’s Westgate Hospital is taking aim at this national crisis through its weight-loss program, which offers professional one-on-one consultations, a medically supervised weight-loss program, a surgical weight-loss program, and ongoing counseling support for weight-loss patients. “Obesity is a major problem in Arizona and across the country,” Brucato-Day says. “Our weight-loss program gives patients the tools they need to make lasting changes to their well-being. It is one example of our commitment to improving the health of the West Valley.”

IN ESTABLISHING A THRIVING COMMUNITY,

ITS PEOPLE COME FIRST by Michael Nelson, Metro-West Valley Community Affairs Manager, APS

or more than 130 years, Arizona Public Service (APS) has provided funding, support and volunteers to organizations and events that share our commitment to the people of Arizona. As an Arizona-based company, we believe it is our responsibility to help the state’s communities thrive.

THE NEW ECONOMY: GOOD NEWS FOR WORKING ADULT STUDENTS

by Barbara Snyder, Phoenix Campus Director, University of Phoenix National Headquarters

Many working adults, like Jon Burkett from Virginia, attend college to complete a dream. Others attend school to reinvent themselves, transition to a new career or enhance/ advance in their current job.

hy did Richmond, Virginia’s Jon Burkett, a CBS 6 crime reporter and Navy veteran, drive thousands of miles to Arizona this last March? The answer: Working long professional hours in his career, Jon was able to finish his goal of completing a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice administration. Jon walked in the 2019 Phoenix Commencement at the Phoenix Convention Center after driving more than 2,200 miles and after finishing a degree while he worked full time. The University of Phoenix built education for working adults. Today, choosing between going to work and going to school is a thing of the past. When John Sperling, University of Phoenix founder, opened these doors in 1976 he changed higher education forever. Shorter class-

es, smaller course loads, credit for prior college experience, credit for relevant work or military experience, and industrial strength faculty are all part of the national model created in Arizona. This is a case in which competition in the higher education marketplace has been good for all of us — very, very good. Because of John Sperling’s vision, nearly all of our Arizona public and many of our private higher education institutions have followed in John Sperling’s footsteps, making higher education more accessible than ever before to working adults, especially through evening and online course offerings. Now is an incredible time as the University of Phoenix reinvents itself for the modern 21st century working adult. Cutting-edge technology is in both the campus and virtual classrooms including mobile app learning, screen sharing (yes, from your phone, too), smart software and communication tools, and self-service opportunities 24 hours a day and seven days per week. Study rooms are equipped with large screens and spiral sets of adapters to fit anyone’s laptop, phone or tablet. Furniture is flexible, too — standing tables for those who have been sitting all day and comfortable ottomans for tired legs/feet. Many working adults, like Jon Burkett from Virginia, attend college to complete a dream. Others attend school to reinvent themselves, transition to a new career or enhance/advance in their current job. This is why a large part of the University of Phoenix vision involves intensive

career support to all students and alumni ranging from LinkedIn brand seminars (moving beyond resume writing support) to executive panels and community partnerships for career and job fairs. Our study rooms shift to be backdrops for remote job interviews through zoom and Skype software, and our self-service “always on” career support is on the fast track. Outstanding community partners that support job-seekers valleywide are one of our most cherished imperatives: Career Connectors and Pipeline AZ are two of these exemplars. At the University of Phoenix, we never forget that veterans are one of our country’s most appreciated and valued workforce assets. This is why the University of Phoenix offers a veteran student experience with some special amenities. Our Office of Military and Veteran Affairs has created three special partnerships to make access to individualized services better: ScholarVets (provides academic support and connects veterans with potential employers), American Corporate Partners (connects veterans to corporate mentors for a yearlong experience), and Give An Hour (free, quality mental health care). Furthermore, the University of Phoenix dedicates prime space for a Veterans Resource Center at the Phoenix Campus — making our resources available to all veterans in the community, regardless of whether he/she is a student. All of this is good news for working adults in the new economy — higher education is on the move.

ARIZONA CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY TO GROW IN GLENDALE by Len Munsil, President, Arizona Christian University

ACU will enrich the West Valley as we bring cultural and intellectual events, including musical theater and public lectures, plus an exciting small-college NAIA athletics program.

t Arizona Christian University, since our founding in 1960 we have provided a biblically integrated liberal arts education that prepares our graduates to pursue positions of leadership in the world. As we have transitioned from a small Bible college to an elite Christian liberal arts university, we have been recognized for the past two years as a Best College by U.S. News & World Report, and as the top university in Arizona by College Consensus. Having reached capacity with more than 1,000 students, faculty and staff at our small, land-locked 20-acre campus in Phoenix, ACU could not be more excited to move to a new home here in Glendale. The 68-acre former site of the Thunderbird School of Global Management at 59th Avenue and Greenway Road, with its rich heritage as a World War II airfield and its magnificent educational buildings, hotel and conference facilities, dorm rooms and

GLENDA G LENDALE LE LI LIV VING ING • YOU!

library, will provide us with plenty of room to grow. ACU will enrich the West Valley as we bring cultural and intellectual events, including musical theater and public lectures, plus an exciting small-college NAIA athletics program. At ACU, genuine student-athletes and teams — many of them nationally ranked — compete in dozens of sports, including football, while regularly excelling nationally as Champions of Character and academic All-Americans. Our students will serve the community through service projects at local charities and opportunities throughout the city to assist homeowners in need of help with yardwork and other chores. As an accredited, private, nonprofit Christian university, we offer numerous programs of study including degrees in business, biology and pre-med, education, Christian ministries and biblical

studies, music, political science, criminal justice and pre-law, psychology, communication, broadcast journalism and film studies, among others. We also recently established a concurrent enrollment program with Arizona State University that allows students to earn two bachelor’s degrees (one in applied computing from ASU, the other in interdisciplinary studies from ACU) in the same four-year timeframe. In keeping with the theme of this quarter’s issue of Glendale LIVING, ACU’s move will also have a significant economic impact. Already, many of our 200-plus employees are moving into Glendale, buying homes and frequenting local restaurants and businesses. According to the Brookings Institution, the average bachelor’s degree holder contributes $278,000 more to local economies than the average high school graduate over a lifetime, and an average of 42 percent of alumni from four-year colleges remain in the area after graduation — meaning the cumulative economic effect of ACU’s move to Glendale will grow year by year. We are excited to be part of this community and for our students, faculty and staff to live, serve, and lead in Glendale for decades to come! To learn more, visit arizonachristian.edu.

AUTOMATED ENFORCEMENT IMPROVES PUBLIC SAFETY Here’s the Research to Back it Up by Jane Prosch-Jensen, VP Government Relations, Redflex Traffic Systems

utomated enforcement is a tool that law enforcement agencies rely on nationwide to improve public safety. It serves as a 24/7 deterrent to red-light-running and speeding, significantly reducing the manpower and resources necessary to combat dangerous driving behaviors that lead to crashes, exhaust city resources and, in the worst cases, cause untimely deaths. Numerous studies have found that automated enforcement improves driver behavior, community safety and ultimately saves lives — making streets safer for everyone. Automated Enforcement Reminds Drivers to Slow Down Did you know that speeding was responsible for one-third of all traffic fatalities between 2005-2014? Speeding kills — and technology such as speed cameras can help deter this habit. In 2017, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) conducted a study to reduce speeding nationwide. The study explains “(speeding) increases crash risk both in terms of the likelihood of being in-

volved in a crash and in terms of the severity of injuries sustained by those involved in speeding-related crashes.” The NTSB recommended the installation of speeding cameras as a viable solution, commenting, “(automated enforcement) is an effective but underused countermeasure.” Red-Light Cameras Reduce Fatal Crashes Drivers running red lights can also cause fatal car crashes. According to a 2017 study published in the Journal of Safety Research, activating red-light cameras reduced fatal red-light-running crashes by 21 percent — and all types of fatal crashes by 14 percent in 117 U.S. cities with more than 200,000 residents. Earlier research, found by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in 2011, supported these findings: automated enforcement reduced fatal red-light-running crashes in 14 major cities by 24 percent. Pedestrians are Safer with Automated Enforcement Automated enforcement systems are also shown to improve safety

conditions for pedestrians. Pedestrian fatalities have seen a shocking increase in recent years. The Governors Highway Safety Association found that 6,227 pedestrians were killed in 2018 — the highest number in 30 years. They cited multiple factors including increased walking, unsafe road crossings, speeding, distracted driving and more. Installing speeding or red-light cameras can detect and deter these potentially fatal driving behaviors. The Results are Clear — Automated Enforcement is Impactful and Effective As part of a broader public safety strategy, automated enforcement is a highly effective tool for deterring risky driving behaviors and reducing motor vehicle crashes. Redflex is honored to work with communities across the globe to tackle these safety concerns and educate drivers about the widespread impact of speeding, red-light running and other risky maneuvers.

Bold, bright and unexpected are Pantone’s forecast for this year’s color trends in home design, with reds and oranges taking the lead. Warm off-white shades dominate the neutrals, such as Soybean and Sweet Corn, while greens, yellows and blues round out the 12 colors of the year. “Gardeners have taken up the mantle to save the bees, but we need to garden to save all flying insects …,” says Katie Dubow of Garden Media. Growing native plants is the best way to start and includes shrubs, vines, grasses, succulents, ground covers and such trees as desert willow, Texas olive and Arizona cypress.

Floor tiles are getting bigger and better. You can now find tiles as large as 24 by 48 inches. They look like the real deal from stone and marble to limestone and travertine. Tile planks are available in 48-inch lengths, and due to ink jet technology, can be manufactured to look exactly like wood or concrete and are hard-wearing and easy to maintain. Porcelain tiles are being produced as large as 5 by 10 feet.

et me introduce you to one of our newest businesses, which has chosen to bring its one-of-a-kind manufacturing business to Downtown Glendale. Glendale residents Dawn and Chase Albright grow their own vegetables, herbs, compost and have even raised chickens in the past. Their business grew from these experiences. This resourceful couple created a custom wood-and-metal table born out of necessity when their plants and crops were being eaten by something and building their garden higher and adding fencing and netting still didn’t stop it from happening. They designed a custom table with modular inserts for planting a garden or for ice and drink when entertaining. It also has an optional fire feature and their tables can be used inside or out. They also created other metal baskets similar in size that could be used as a cooler to hold ice and drinks. They created 10 of these for their wedding in 2013, and their

guests loved them so much all 10 were bought by friends and family members. This was the birth of C + D Industry. Today, this custom table has two patents and five interchangeable pieces: coolers, garden baskets, flat pieces, small and large fire features that run on clean burning fuel and serving dishes for hot and cold foods. Their products are all custom wood and metal pieces made on-site. Dawn, a self-made woodworking wizard, dreams the designs while Chase, who has been welding since he was 15 and is a metal fabricator by trade, helps make them come to life. Their Downtown location allows them to have a wood shop and a metal fabrication shop on-site; a showroom that will feature rotating artwork from local artists, makers and craftsmen; host DIY events and create a unique buying experience so the consumer will have pieces that they will love. Homeowners, buyers and designers will get help in creating custom pieces for indoor

Dawn and Chase are excited to support Downtown Glendale and grow with the other businesses as residents of Glendale and as a company. Their future plans include opportunities to partner with trade-specific companies to help with workforce development and introduce girls and women to trades and nontraditional roles. They both serve on the Downtown Glendale Strategic Leadership Advisory Group and are excited to be a part of a group focused on being a positive voice for impactful change in the downtown.

athedral Rock is one of the most photographed landmarks in the Southwest and happens to be one of our favorite places to photograph. On the last day of 2018, a very cold winter storm rolled through Arizona bringing snow to locations as far south as Scottsdale. Sedona received 5 inches of snow that day. The red rocks of Sedona are always beautiful, however when you add snow you get a whole new feeling. We have wanted to see Sedona with snow, and we were told this was the best snow there in eight years!

Taking the Photograph

Sometimes taking the photograph we want is not as easy as it would appear. This is a case in point. Since this location is within the Red Rock State Park, the plan was to pay the entry fee and go back to the same location. However, when we arrived we found the park closed so we parked on the street to walk in. We were so excited with all the beautiful snow. We had only gotten 100 yards into the park when we were confronted by a Yavapai County sheriff’s deputy in his car (who asked to remain anonymous) who told us we were trespassing since the park was closed and we needed to leave. Not wanting to give up, Teresa stepped in and outlined that we have waited a long time to capture this moment, and we only needed a short time to take our photograph. The deputy’s face softened, and he said OK, you have 10 minutes. We walked down to where we had taken

the photograph the last time and worked as quickly as we could taking photographs. Then he drove to where we were and asked if we were finished. We said yes and he offered to give us a ride back. This added so much to the entire experience.

Protect Your Dog from Heat Stroke by Todd D. Carter, D.V.M., DACVIM, Midwestern University College of Veterinary Medicine

he Arizona summer heat can be dangerous for both people and pets. Going outside without sun protection or plenty of drinking water can result in severe sunburn, burns on the feet from hot pavement, dehydration and heat stroke. Follow these guidelines to help your dog stay safe and comfortable. Every dog is susceptible to heat stroke. Avoid long exposure to the sun, and always take along plenty of water for both you and your dog. Use dog boots to protect their feet on asphalt or concrete. And of course, NEVER leave a dog in the car for even a few minutes. Dogs do not sweat through their skin like people do; they expel heat through panting, which requires a well-functioning airway. Dogs with shorter airways, such as English and French Bulldogs, Boston Terriers and Pugs, have more difficulty expelling heat, dramatically increasing their risk of heat stroke. Be extremely careful with these breeds during the summer months. Let them out only during the cooler portions of the day and then only for a short time (no long walks). Any dog with a history of respiratory or cardiovascular disease is also at higher risk for heat-related illness, including dogs with tracheal collapse, heart failure and laryngeal paralysis. If your dog has a history of coughing, changes in bark or hoarse sounds when breathing, consult your veterinarian before participating in any strenuous activity. Seek veterinary care immediately if your dog shows any signs of overheating, such as panting without being able to stop, failure to keep pace, collapse, red gums, vomiting or diarrhea. Time is critical, and getting your pet to an emergency facility can truly make the difference between life and death. To help reduce body heat, you may hose the dog down with cool water (do not use ice!) and put rubbing alcohol on the footpads,

but these will not reduce the need for immediate veterinary care. Following the above tips can help keep your pet cool and safe and make the summer more enjoyable for everyone. The information contained in this article is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment. Always consult your veterinarian for any questions regarding any possible medical condition affecting your pet.

our home and garden can be a favorite refuge in the spring. Now is a great time to take a look around and plan your upcoming projects for spring and summer.

Remodeling and Adding Space If you’re feeling a bit cramped in your space, you might want to think about remodeling or adding on extra room. For larger projects, you’ll definitely want to hire a contractor who is licensed with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Attorney Jon Fornara explains in his article, “Hire a Qualified Professional for Those Home Improvement Projects,” how this can provide resources and support in the event that not all goes as well as hoped for. Licensed contractors can also help guide you through the maze of necessary permits and inspections. Most projects you tackle will require

GLENDA G LENDALE LE LI LIV VING ING • FUN!

government permits, and if you’re not experienced in this area you can find yourself a bit overwhelmed. It’s not a bad idea to call your local governmental building department in advance to find out what permits you need and the associated costs, which will help you with your budgeting. Another advantage to hiring a licensed contractor is finding skilled workers. Right now, there is a building boom in the Valley, and skilled workers are in high demand. A good contractor will have a crew available and subcontractors lined up to do all the needed work so you don’t have to worry. Finally, a licensed contractor will help keep your project on schedule. If you ever watched the movie, “The Money Pit,” you’ll remember how the home remodeling project kept getting delayed with a dismaying but cheerful “two weeks.” When you sit down with your contractor, ask for a reasonable time estimate for the project completion.

Do understand that if you make changes in the middle of the project, “I think I really want a window over there, please …” this can mean a delay in the timeline. Research any contractor you are considering through the Arizona Registrar of Contractors, the Better Business Bureau and read online reviews. You will also want to talk with their former clients about their experience working with the contractor.

A New Home

When considering either upsizing or downsizing, it may end up that adding on or remodeling is not the best solution — you need to move. That’s when you want to have a friendly neighborhood Realtor® on your side. They can help walk you through the steps of finding a new home and selling your current home. They’ll have the most up-to-date information about what properties are on the market and suitable for your needs. Additionally, real estate professionals can assist with identifying needed improvements before putting your home on the market. Sometimes simple repairs and changes can reap huge returns when it comes to selling your home. A checklist from your Real estate professional® on what is needed is a great tool and may provide a needed fresh perspective. On the other hand, the real estate agent you select can also help you make a wise choice in purchasing your next home. He or she can see potential issues you might miss. Of course, you’ll want to have inspections done, and your real estate professional will be able to assist in scheduling those for you. The real estate market in the Valley is pretty active at the moment, so you will want to get started looking sooner rather than later.

A New Look

Perhaps you don’t need to remodel or move, maybe you just need to rearrange and freshen up your space. Need a little or a lot of direction and inspiration? An interior decorator might be the perfect solution. Interior decorators can work magic in just a day or go shopping with you for the complete makeover project. They’ll also help you make sure that whatever you do will add value to your home and comfort to your living area.

After you’re done with the new look, treat yourself to a professional house and carpet cleaning. Everything will feel fresh and sparkling. You deserve it.

Curb Appeal

No matter what you do, improving your curb appeal is one of the best dollar-for-dollar investments in your home and well-being. A beautiful yard can be a wonderful place to refresh and relax, and it can also increase

the value of your home by up to 20 percent, according to Bob Vila*. Not so great on your gardening design skills? No worries, there are lots of resources for you to dig into. Landscapers can help you do everything from maintenance to design and beautifying. Your yard can be beneficial as well as appealing. Like to cook? Set aside a section for an herb garden. Love salads? Grow your own — some assembly required, of course. Hate to bend over? Consider raised beds and potted plants on benches and risers. Seek the advice of a local nursery for best plants and trees to consider for your garden. The Valley has a whole host of low water-usage plants to consider and many beautiful flowering bushes and vines in addition to cacti. Remember, your garden doesn’t have to be just your project, it can also be your haven.

No matter what you do, improving your curb appeal is one of the best dollarfor-dollar investments in your home and wellbeing.
