Tucson Mayor Regina Romero delivered her third State of the City on Thursday. The nature of these annual addresses is to spotlight work from the last year, talk about what’s next and assure that the state of the city is strong.
The University of Arizona’s MAP Dashboard ranks our business growth and employment growth as dead last among our peer metro areas. Real GDP in the Tucson area was in the bottom third.

We need to focus on turning that potential into high-wage jobs that build a resilient local economy that can support our great local businesses and entrepreneurs.
