Economy

The economy of Casa Grande was historically based on rural, agricultural industries such as cotton and dairy farms. Over time, the city has become home to many Phoenix or Tucson urbanites who own homes in Casa Grande. Most residents either commute north, to work in the Phoenix metropolitan area, or to the south, to work in Tucson. This trend has contributed to growth in the service industry of Casa Grande. Many new businesses such as restaurants, gas stations, and retail outlets are opening throughout the city in order to keep up with demand from the growing population.

An outlet mall operates in southern Casa Grande [1] that serves many local patrons as well as highway travelers.

Casa Grande will be the site of one of an outdoor mall by fall 2007 called The Promenade at Casa Grande. Lease agreements were completed in November 2006 and construction began immediately thereafter. Similar to Desert Ridge (an outdoor shopping center in Scottsdale, Arizona), this mall will be outdoors, built on a 100 acre patch of desert, and contain nearly a million square feet. An additional $20 million dollars are being spent by the city to fund the reconstruction of the Florence Blvd/10 Freeway off/onramp. For other uses, see Scottsdale . ...
