Anchored by the University of Arizona Tech Park, the sixth largest research park in the United States, and home to La Costena, Global Solar, Rita Tech Park, Rita Commerce Park, Target Distribution Center, and Port of Tucson, this high growth commercial corridor is well positioned for connections to Phoenix, El Paso, Western United States, Mexico, Canada and beyond. The Tucson Tech Corridor includes shovel ready land owned by major real estate development firms. Most of the sites are serviced by utilities and zoned to create real estate opportunities for manufacturers, research and development/technology companies, and warehouses. These sites and the University of Arizona Tech Park enjoy support from excellent employee demographics, existing and planned retail, and in close proximity to one of the strongest housing markets in the Tucson/Pima County Region, offering affordable housing and work force housing. Many of the parcels in the Tucson Tech Corridor are located in the Enterprise Zone and the UA Tech Park is in the Federal Empowerment Zone, affording financial incentives to companies locating in this area. The Planning Center assisted the Tucson Tech Corridor team in the development of marketing strategies and in the preparation of a map series for the website. We continue to be a Tucson Tech Corridor "Partner in Success" by providing continued planning assistance to the Tucson Tech Corridor team.
