As we commemorate our fifth year with Local First Arizona this August, we reflect on the profound impact this partnership has had on our journey and the broader Arizona community. Our commitment to supporting Arizona-based businesses has been unwavering, and aligning with Local First Arizona has amplified our efforts to foster a resilient and inclusive local economy.

Local First Arizona, established in 2003, is a community and economic development nonprofit dedicated to creating a vibrant and sustainable Arizona economy by supporting local businesses and fostering community pride. Their mission to keep dollars circulating within the state resonates deeply with our approach to partnerships and project development. By investing in local talent and resources, we collectively contribute to the economic well-being of Arizona, ensuring that both small family businesses and large enterprises thrive.

Our collaboration with Local First Arizona has enabled us to participate in initiatives that extend beyond traditional business operations. Through programs like the Arizona Economic Resource Center (AZERC), we have supported efforts to help eligible Arizona cities, towns, counties, tribal communities, and nonprofits win and implement competitive grants, thereby strengthening local economies.

Additionally, Local First Arizona’s focus on rural community development has allowed us to engage in projects that build more vibrant and self-reliant communities. By promoting local entrepreneurs, engaging local youth, and inspiring future leaders, these initiatives strengthen the resiliency of our local economy and encourage a connection to place.

As we look ahead, we remain dedicated to our partnership with Local First Arizona, confident that our shared vision will continue to drive positive change. By supporting local businesses, engaging in community development, and promoting sustainability, we contribute to a thriving Arizona economy that benefits all residents.

Our five-year milestone with Local First Arizona is not just a celebration of time but a testament to the collaborative efforts that have strengthened our community. We are proud to be part of an organization that embodies the spirit of Arizona, and we look forward to many more years of shared success and community impact.
