WESTMARC — the Western Maricopa Coalition — is a public-private partnership of the 15 communities, the business community and the educational sector in the West Valley of the Greater Phoenix region. WESTMARC was formed in 1990 to address important issues facing the West Valley’s economic prosperity. Through WESTMARC members connections, collaboration and action, this region is now home to 1.8 million residents, a thriving business community, abundance of education options, and world-class sports and entertainment amenities.
WESTMARC’s three key priorities are to:
- Promote the West Valley
- Enhance Economic Development

Maricopa County is the fourth-largest county in the nation. Economic forecasts and growth projections show that the economic opportunity for the future of Arizona lies within Western Maricopa County.
