JEFFERSON ST • PHOENIX INTRODUCTION Adequate sources of information on industrial development activity in Arizona are widely scattered. In most cases, existence of these sources may even be unknown to all but a few specialists in the field. This bibliography on Arizona's Industrial Development Factors was prepared with the objective of providing a ready source of reference which lists and classifies literature of interest to those active in the industrial development of Arizona. This is a pioneering effort and, admittedly, therefore, may be incomplete. The Arizona Development Board believes that those in business and industry will find this bibliography an indispensable tool. The twenty-seven categories of industrial development data in Arizona presented in Section A and the alphabetical listing of available data presented in Section B provide the industrial developer a ready refer­ ence to literature about Arizona. Credit for the original concept of the publication goes to Boyd H. Gibbons, Jr., Special Assistant to the Governor of Arizona, Paul Fannin. The Arizona Development Board is also indebted to Phil Fry of Mountain States Telephone Company and to his company for the excellent preliminary work that he did on this publication. Names cannot be included of all who assisted in the development of the volume by providing copies of publications released by their organizations. Cooperation of this group, however, was most important and much appreciated. It is the intention of the Arizona Development Board to revise and supplement this bibliography periodically, if such action seems war­ ranted. Users are requested to send any suggestions to Arizona Devel­ opment Board, 1521 West Jefferson, Phoenix, Arizona. The Bureau of Business Services wishes to express its debt of gratitude to Mrs. Hyla Moore of the staff for the many hours of work in typing, sorting cards, and assisting in the preparation of the publication.

  • Arizona Town Hall Report
    Report of the 96th ARIZONA TOWN HALL “BUILDING ARIZONA’S FUTURE: JOBS, INNOVATION & COMPETITIVENESS” Tucson, Arizona April 25 - 28, 2010 *Note: This is a working draft subject to further grammatical changes and clarification. Two and a half years into the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, Arizona’s economy—and its residents—continue to struggle, even while other areas of the country, including a few neighboring states, show signs of recovery. Over the last 25 years, Arizona has grown increasingly dependent on population growth and the attendant growth in housing construction and service industries. This dependence has rendered the State particularly vulnerable to the mortgage and consumer credit crises of the last two years. Construction jobs and home equity can no longer support consumption as Arizonans continue to lose their homes and jobs in alarming numbers. Numerous tax cuts during the boom years and voter-approved spending increases have created a long-term structural deficit in the State’s budget. Declining tax revenues since the bust have had a disastrous effect on the budget. Arizona’s response to this budget crisis has been to reduce social services and education spending at precisely the moment that both are needed to help weather the downturn and to prepare for a recovery. In these challenging times, a diverse cross-section of Arizona residents came together in Tucson to look beyond the present crisis, to seek consensus on what the State’s post- recession economy should look like and to identify the best means for achieving that desired economic future. This report is the result of their efforts.

  • The Treasury Department Releases Analysis Showing the Impact of the Global Economy on Individual States
    The Treasury Department Releases Analysis Showing the Impact of the Global Economy on Individual States Sources: Department of Commerce, Standard and Poor’s. Note: Asia refers to China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. All export figures refer to merchandise exports, which consist of manufactures, agricultural and livestock products, and other commodities. Except where otherwise noted, export figures are calculated based on the location of exporter, which is not necessarily the same as the location of producer. THE IMPORTANCE OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY TO ALABAMA Over the past several decades, growth in international trade has become increasingly important to the U.S. economy. During that period, Asia has emerged as a leading market for U.S. products. Today, exports to Asia account for 30 percent of all U.S. exports; agricultural exports to Asia constitute 40 percent of all U.S. agricultural exports. Similarly, over the same period of time the economy of Alabama has forged close ties with the economies of Asia. · Alabama exported $867 million of merchandise to Asia in 1997. These exports accounted for 19 percent of the state’s total merchandise exports. · Exports have been an important vehicle of growth for Alabama. Between 1993 and 1997, the state’s exports to Asia increased by 31 percent. · Several of the state’s key sectors depend on the health of Asian economies. For example, the paper products sector was responsible for $191 million, or 22 percent, of the state’s exports to Asia in 1997. · The industrial machinery and computer industry accounted for $178 million, or 21 percent, of the state’s exports to Asia in 1997.

  • Climate and Society in the US Southwest: the Context for a Regional Assessment
    CLIMATE RESEARCH Vol. 21: 199–218, 2002 Published July 16 Clim Res Climate and society in the US Southwest: the context for a regional assessment Diana M. Liverman1,*, Robert Merideth2 1Center for Latin American Studies, and Department of Geography and Regional Developments, The University of Arizona, 103 Douglass Building, Tucson, Arizona 85719, USA 2Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy, The University of Arizona, 803 E. First St., Tucson, Arizona 85719, USA ABSTRACT: We examine the general relationships between climate and society in the US Southwest providing a context for the ongoing Climate Assessment for the Southwest (CLIMAS) Project. We review 5 key contextual elements of the region—its demography, economy, land, water, and institu- tions and values—and indicate how these conditions predispose certain social groups, economic sec- tors, or geographic areas to be more or less vulnerable, adaptable, or responsive to climate variabil- ity, climate information and climate change. Given the rapid influx of people into the region, the significant economic growth, and competing demands for water and other resources, especially in urban areas, vulnerability to climatic variations is already increasing in some areas of the Southwest. Differences in income, access to institutional resources, or employment options make some individu- als or groups less able to cope with the adverse effects of climate changes or to use climate informa- tion to guide decisions. And the ability to respond to climatic variability and make the best use of cli- mate information often is constrained both by institutional obligations and by the tense politics of some public land management in the region.
