ello and welcome back to Business Briefcase! As the entire West Valley continues to grow, residents are beginning to see more businesses break ground in areas including Avondale, Goodyear and Buckeye. According to data from WESTMARC, there are more than 1.7 million people living in the West Valley, and it’s estimated that the population in the next five years will grow at twice the national rate of growth. The Maricopa Association of Governments estimates the West Valley will be home to 2,094,834 residents by 2030. Overall, Arizona is seeing major growth. The census shows that the state has the highest population growth rate in the United States and has the third-highest population growth since 2010. The West Valley has much to do with that increase. During the next 25 years, over 40% of the growth in Maricopa County will occur in the West Valley. To keep up with these estimated statistics, major corporations are choosing to be part of the growth by opening locations in the West Valley. Here is another business that West Valley residents can expect to bring jobs and further growth opportunities.

ed at the southwest corner of Elwood Street and Sarival Avenue? ViaWest Group broke ground on Goodyear Crossings Industrial Park and is expected to open in Q3 this year. After ViaWest acquired the 25.91acre parcel in November 2019, the plan was to include three industrial buildings. Each building is over 55,000 square feet, one being 284,290 square feet. All three buildings are intended for single or multitenant use. “With the rapidly expanding Goodyear industrial market, these high-quality, small to midsize buildings are unique offerings to the market and will provide logistics and/or manufacturing solutions to a variety of growing businesses,” Alex Boles, director of development at ViaWest Group, said in a statement. “Net absorption in metro Phoenix was at an all-time high in 2020, absorbing just over 15 million square feet. That is a 9 million-square-foot increase from 2019,” added Allen Lowe, principal at Lee & Associates. The site is located just over 3 miles south of the interchange at Cotton Lane and Interstate 10, less than a mile from the Loop 303 southern extension. The buildings are located directly adjacent to other large industrial tenants, including Amazon and Macy’s. One of the primary reasons the West Valley continues to see an increase in industrial, residential and commercial demand, even during the pandemic, is (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

because it’s the most westerly connection to California. “We’ve learned a lot about ourselves, and there are a lot of things that we can take into the future. Goodyear continues to grow. We did not slow down during the pandemic, so we had to manage this on top of the incredible growth that we already have going on in our community,” Goodyear City Manager Julie Karins said at the WESTMARC Economic Development Summit. “It’s a great time to be in Goodyear.” The project, a joint venture with a Philadelphia-based investment company, will allow Goodyear to continue to serve as a strategic growth market for successful businesses. “In Goodyear’s booming market, the ViaWest spec buildings located in the Goodyear Opportunity Zone, will not only be a cost savings for a new business, but they will create an accelerated time to market, which means a business can be up and running faster providing more jobs for our citizens,” Mayor Georgia Lord said. “We are excited to see the growth and new developments helping our community build a solid future for years to come.”

PebbleCreek women quilt for a cause

or some, quilting is a hobby that helps pass the time. However, for the women of the PebbleCreek Quilters, quilting and sewing skills are used to make a difference in the West Valley. The Goodyear group creates sensory mats for those in need at Hospice of the Valley. Specifically, the quilts were made for dementia patients. As dementia patients often spend hours sitting or lying down, many times they find themselves bored or anxious. Studies have shown that dementia patients benefit from sensory interventions as an alternative to reduce their agitation. “Sensory mats are designed to help reduce that agitation and to provide a sense of calm for people with dementia and those in the end stage of life,” said Patsy Wagner, head of the community service initiative with the PebbleCreek Quilters. “They are often aggressive or frustrated because they can’t do a variety of basic things. Or they’re fearful; they’re fearful of what might happen to them or what the future will bring. Or they’re just plain bored because their bodies
don’t move like they used to move.” The women assembled their fabrics and made nearly 40 fidget blankets for Hospice of the Valley patients. The quilts are adorned with a variety of items, including empty thread spools, zippers, ribbons, buttons, lace, fringe, Velcro and bells. Each item was added to help activate and stimulate the patients’ ability to feel, move and listen. “Ours are pretty cool. We created mats that are 22 by 22 so they sit on a person’s lap, and they put out a whole variety of colors and textures and different types of fabric. The mat itself was designed to help with the senses,” Wagner said. The quilters were tickled about receiving a thank-you card from Hospice of the Valley. The quilts were also a hit with other members of the PebbleCreek community. “We put our finished mats in our display window just because they’re a new product, and several of our residents came up and said something like, ‘My mom needs one of these.’ Everybody was just very curious about them when they were in the window. A lot of people ended up knowing somebody that needs something like this. It was really
a very popular item,” Wagner said. This isn’t the first time the PebbleCreek Quilters created for a cause. “I think just about everybody in PebbleCreek feels that we’re very fortunate, and it’s really our responsibility as human beings to help out people who aren’t so fortunate. We feel that it’s our pleasure to help these people. And besides that, how many quilts can you use?” Wagner said with a laugh, joking that she has run out of friends and family to gift quilts to. While Wagner admits to loving the access she has to machines like the long arm by being in the group, it’s the relationships she has within the group of women that have made all the difference. “It’s the camaraderie. I mean, it’s just great to go up there to the Creative Arts Center, spend a couple of hours with other cultures, and almost always I learn something new,” Wagner said. “It’s just amazing to sit and talk to people who have the same love that you have. It’s really wonderful.”
