Pinal County has seen some big wins such as Nikola Motor Company coming to Coolidge and Lucid Motors locating in Casa Grande. When mayors gathered together this morning, infrastructure and workforce development were top points at the Pinal Partnership panel, moderated by Jordan Rose, Rose Law Group founder and president.
Casa Grande is working with ASU and Central Arizona College to develop programs that will provide technology certifications for workers, and the city is looking at building a technology training center, Mayor Craig McFarland said.
Lucid and Nikola are expected to bring 4,000 jobs to Pinal County, along with the expected ancillary businesses, such as medical practice that recently moved to Coolidge in preparation for the growth, Mayor Jon Thompson said.
