Many Indian communities see the Gila River Indian Community economic
development efforts as a model for Indian Country. The Community is
already beginning to have an impact in the Phoenix metropolitan area
and Pinal County with its new Whirlwind golf courses (home of the
PGA's Buy.com Golf tournament, and managed by Troon Golf), the opening
of the Four Star 500 room Sheraton at Wild Horse Pass Resort (managed
by Sheraton Resorts), which includes the Adjii Spa and equestrian
center, and the newly constructed 400-acre Wild Horse Pass Business
Park, in its new 2,400-acre development known as the "Wild Horse
Pass."
Located on the southern boundary of the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan
area and northwestern boundary of Pinal County, the Gila River Indian
Community has committed to investing its revenues to increase economic
development opportunities, education, housing, social services,
public safety and other community services for Community members.
But in turn, they have invested nearly $23.5 million in a 500 acre
development for a commerce/business park, $125 million for a resort,
including golf and related infrastructure, as well as $15.4 million
into the Community's water and sewer improvements. This development
is being developed around the Wild Horse Pass Casino off the Interstate
10 transportation corridor, at the southern gateway into the Phoenix
metropolitan region. Its location also is adjacent to two of the
three of the highest median income areas in the Arizona and to Chandler's
Silicon Desert, home of Intel's largest Fab plant.
The Community's location offers many opportunities with the existing
transportation infrastructure to move your products or bring your
employees to your work site. With the Interstate 10 transversing
the Community, with access to the Union Pacific Railroad transcontinental
lines easily accessible from within the Community, and as a member
of the Williams Gateway Airport Authority, air transport is close
by as well through Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport.
If your firm is interested in growing in a thriving market, locating
to the Gila River Indian Community maybe your answer. Contact the
Gila River Indian Community Economic Development Department. Let
us give your firm the opportunity to be a player within our Community.
