East Valley Partnership
In 1980, The Wall Street Journal described the East Valley of metropolitan Phoenix as one of the most vibrant growth centers in the United States with extremely high residential and market potential. For many years, the East Valley stood in the shadow of the superior political clout of Phoenix. At a time when critical decisions were being made on transportation, health care and social services, leaders from the East Valley met to establish an effective coalition to advance the needs and interests of the combined East Valley cities.
