Hi Friends!
This is your Hard Money Lender in Tucson and the Southern Arizona area, Billy A with some news from my friend Fletcher Wilcox at Grand Canyon Title Agency:
In November 2012, Arizona ranked fifth among states in job growth and Greater Phoenix ranked second among areas with populations over 1,000,000.
To find out the latest on what is being done to grow jobs in Arizona on Wednesday, January 16, Fletcher had the privilege of discussing with Arizona Chamber of Commerce CEO Glenn Hamer and Phoenix Councilman Sal DiCiccioat the Arizona Mortgage Lenders Association lunch, on what the Arizona Chamber is doing to grow jobs and what the City of Phoenix has done to speed up job growth. Below are charts:
