Williams Gateway Holds Potential...

Williams Gateway holds potential as job center, from the Arizona Republic, reports that representatives with the Urban Land Institute were in town last week to assess how Williams Gateway can be developed into a private-sector job generator. Their analysis showed that Williams Gateway could be home to 65,000 college students as part of the ASU Polytechnic campus and community college campuses, and be home to up to 100,000 jobs by 2030. Municipalities in the area will spend millions to upgrade infrastructure to accommodate industry along the same lines as what has developed in and near Scottsdale Airpark. Developers are spending millions more buying land in a gamble that more people will move to the area. "That will be our job center," said Mesa Mayor Keno Hawker. According to experts, the Williams Gateway area holds more promise than Scottsdale Airpark, which has reached buildout with nearly 50,000 people working there.
