Sun Corridor getting some attention as economy improves

The Sun Corridor, a potential megapolitan area running from Prescott through Phoenix and Tucson to the Mexico border, is getting some attention. In Friday's paper, the Phoenix Business Journal will look at some of its impacts and who is gearing up for a region that, in the next 30 years, will have a population of about 9 million people. That means a lot more impact on infrastructure and services, and the need for a lot more jobs in the coming years. Coincidentally, the Maricopa Association of Governments is putting on an event Wednesday to discuss what will need to be done from an economic development viewpoint to make sure the jobs are there to support a region that will be one of a dozen major economic corridors in the U.S. Michael Gallis, head of the Charlotte, N.C.-based Michael Gallis & Associates, will be on hand to provide a presentation about how the Sun Corridor will grow over the next three decades and where the region should focus its energies.
