We learned much about the Smoki Or- ganization and the history of the Yavapai Prescott People, in addition to receiving some much needed explana- tions and information regarding legislative issues pertaining to Arizona archaeology. And our evening speaker, Dr. Aaron Wright of Archaeology Southwest kept us enthralled with his discussion of "Along River Margins".

As the inaugural community partner for the program, we could not be more pleased with the relationship the city has developed with the students, professors, instructors, and Project Cities staff. This semester we were fortunate to have the opportunity to work with over 70 students on four projects that engaged five university professors and classes. The students and professors brought fresh perspectives and unique approaches to their work. On behalf of the City Council, we can say that they are impressed with the relevant project work, and we are sure that it will help make Apache Junction a place people love to call home.

  • Apache Junction
    Community Profile for Apache Junction Apache Junction is the eastern gateway into the Phoenix Metroplex making U.S. 60 the primary route into the valley. Apache Junction also acts as the western gateway to the majority of Tonto National Forest’s aquatic recreation venues. The city has focused on preserving the heritage of the community while advancing into a 21st century city. The local economy benefits from the large seasonal population that comes to enjoy the beautiful mountain views, mild winter weather and hospitable neighbors. Apache Junction holds tremendous growth potential, with over 11,000 acres of developable land within the existing city limits, which are adjacent to a 275-square-mile swath of land between the east valley and Florence. An abundant amount of rich and developable land is easily accessible in the city. Principal Economic Activities Apache Junction is ideal for advanced manufacturing, regional and corporate centers, medical institutions with associated satellite operations and mining support facilities. The city also is seeking resort and tourist- oriented development, expanded retail opportunities and high-density residential development. Major area employers include Empire Southwest and Ikon Steel. Apache Junction's proximity to the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport contributes to economic development. The city can easily accommodate supply chain services and manufacturing at lower land acquisition and operating costs for those providers who don’t require being at the airpark itself. The city offers several sites with a global reach made possible by its proximity to nearby airports and railroads: Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport (30 miles), Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (11 miles) and rail access (15-30 miles).
