(Newswire.net -- December 6, 2013) Tempe, AZ – In a moving and highly emotional State of the City Address, Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell heralded the city as a potent “economic engine” in the area, spurring development that has attracted numerous capital investments and employment opportunities.
“Tempe isn’t the biggest city in the valley,” stated the longest-serving mayor of the city, “but clearly, we are an economic engine.”
Speaking in front of a record crowd at the Temple Mission Palms, Mayor Mitchell cited the projects that are underway which has created 5,000 new jobs this year—attracting workers from nearby cities and states—but also expected to collectively generate more than 8,600 jobs in the near future.
To continue supporting this momentum, the city is embarking on more high-rise apartments in Tempe, especially the downtown area and near ASU. The mayor also encourages the private sector to “Think Big”—the theme of his address—and to continue to put their confidence on his administration as he takes pride in being mayor of this “thriving city”.
Great coverage on yesterday's State of the City at http://t.co/afRsu4r5Kv. Proud to be Mayor of this thriving city! #Tempe #ThinkBigTempe — Mayor Mark Mitchell (@AZMayorMitchell) November 22, 2013 Tempe has been voted as one of the Top 100 places to live in the country, citing employment opportunities and affordable housing as one of the main factors for the choice. And the presence of Arizona State University’s largest campus (with the largest population in the entire U.S.) moves housing providers to offer competitive rates and incentives to attract dwellers.
University Pointe Apartments in Tempe, for example, has opened up new rooms prior to the start of the school season and stirs up interest to its apartment complex by offering freebies to longterm lease signers—students and employees alike. The apartment complex near ASU is just about 20 meters away from the campus and offers affordable and freshly renovated facilities (i.e., a newly remodelled swimming pool). Free bike rentals for residents and an internet/cable TV for each room are added perks offered by the apartment. University Pointe Apartments in Tempe also gives away a $25 gift card for people who visit their studio-type and 2-bedroom apartments scouting for a place to stay.
Tempe has indeed rebounded from the tight economic binds of recent years to a vibrant and dynamic economic engine that it is now, as stated in Mayor Mitchell’s speech. A full script of the mayor’s State of the City address may be viewed on this link.
