Economic development in Marana: How does it work?
At the lowest level, the economic development team provides information to a company that has already made up their mind about moving to Marana.
“A company may have researched and decided they want to come to the Town of Marana, they’ve already decided on the parcel that they want to build on, and they brought their plans in to Development Services for review,” Woody said. “I’ve had no touchpoint on the beginning side of that. So, I will go to them and talk to them about the incentive programs that we have within the town, and facilitate that with the company.”
At mid-level, Woody and his team are working as a liaison between a company and the town’s Development Services. They will help company leaders understand what the town’s processes are for getting through planning, permitting and related procedures.
