Chandler Chamber Hosts ‘Economic Update’ City Bus Tour

A sneak peek at Silicon Desert, Chandler Fashion Center, and Historic Downtown Chandler development projects

by Drew Hernandez

Arizona is exploding with growth, and Chandler has seen a steady rise in both population and the local economy. But, with all that growth, there’s a problem: Chandler is running out of undeveloped land.

With the city approaching maximum buildout, join the Chandler Chamber for a charter bus tour spotlighting the creative ways that Chandler City Council and the Chandler Economic Development Team plan to further grow Chandler, Arizona, into a nationwide destination to live, work and play. Key stops include Chandler Fashion Center, the Silicon Desert and Historic Downtown Chandler.

If you’ve ever wondered what’s going to be built in your favorite dirt lot, this is the perfect event to find out.

Before the tour begins, guests will arrive at ASU Chandler Innovation Center, where stakeholders will share presentations about upcoming construction projects, including an overview by City of Chandler Economic Development Director Micah Miranda.

Guests will then board a charter bus and tour Chandler, Arizona. The bus will visit key business areas, from Chandler Airpark to Historic Downtown Chandler, with “behind-the-scenes” commentary co-emceed by Miranda and Terri Kimble, president and CEO of the Chandler Chamber of Commerce.

Throughout the morning, guests will exit the charter bus to tour some of Chandler’s largest employers and development projects, meeting with business leaders who will share their company’s impact on the local economy.

The Chandler Chamber’s City Bus Tour is from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon on Thursday, November 7, with guests boarding the charter bus at the ASU Chandler Innovation Center parking lot (249 E. Chicago St., Chandler, AZ 85225).
