The economy captured not only the world’s attention in 2008-2009 but it also captured both Yuma and Arizona’s as well.  As 2008 progressed, Greater Yuma EDC’s focus was on both our short and long term strategic plans to ensure that we positioned ourselves for the future.  Greater Yuma EDC is the champion/advocate for any prospect or existing business with all partners including the City, County and all our cross border partners. Greater Yuma EDC and I are committed to maintaining a strong connection with both our business and community leaders.

 Greater Yuma EDC board is comprised of 18 public sector community leaders and private sector business owners and professionals. These public entities and private sector investors provide both their time and funds to assure the success of this organization.

Please feel free to call upon us so we may assist you in your decision making process.  Visit our website at www.greateryuma.org.   We recognize:

• Economic development site selection has become a “site elimination” process.
• The new Greater Yuma property website makes it easy for site selectors to get the answers they are looking for so Yuma makes the short list.
• The new Greater Yuma property website harnesses the power of internet search technology to drive site selectors to Yuma - let our staff take it from there.

 Greater Yuma EDC is here for you. We have the talent, connections and data you need if you are considering our trade area for your business. Julie Engel and her staff will be more than happy to assist you. Expect to be impressed with Julie and her staff as well as with Yuma.
