BizAZ on Scottsdale Employment
When CEOs
responsible for moving their businesses to Scottsdale were asked why
they had chosen the city, they responded in huge numbers with one
answer-they wanted to live here. Scottsdale is a business community of
choice. Businesses from across the nation have flocked here to make
Scottsdale home because the principals of these companies concluded that
Scottsdale was where they would be happy in their non-business lives as
well.
What are the factors that make Scottsdale such a good place to do
business? Surely, it is more challenging to come to Scottsdale than it
is to many Valley cities, land is more expensive in Scottsdale and the
cost of housing is higher as well. The reason is, in part, the
Scottsdale brand.
Scottsdale has worked hard during the period of its growth to set high
standards as a community. An educated workforce and access to a strong
school system and the university make Scottsdale extremely attractive.
The name Scottsdale has become synonymous with quality. And companies
looking to relocate embrace the image of quality. The city's history is
replete with examples of good decisions made by leaders, all designed to
make Scottsdale the premiere place in the Valley.
