Planning metro Phoenix’s growth amid future constraints

A program is being developed that looks at the trade-offs this region will likely face over the next 15-20 years as it works to accommodate projected growth. As metro Phoenix continues to grow there are numerous current and upcoming fundamental constraints to that growth. This can include water, power, available land, and workforce availability.

This effort is meant to bring more attention to the things that improve economic growth and how they interrelate to one another. It also sheds light on how limited resources may require tough decisions about the future funding allocations.

Mark Stapp, Director of Masters in Real Estate Development, and Jim Rounds of Rounds Consulting, joined “Arizona Horizon,” to discuss more about this program and the future growth of metro Phoenix.
