 East Valley officials: Housing an economic development issue

The East Valley’s economic development has been soaring, with billions of dollars in new industry arriving in recent years. But there is one issue that may slow down that growth.

“Housing is an economic development issue,” said Dan Henderson, the director of economic development for Gilbert. “It’s something we take very seriously.”

New companies keep arriving for a variety of reasons, including the weather, an educated workforce and low taxes. However, if their employees are unable to obtain affordable housing, it could cause those companies to look elsewhere.
