Peoria
Peoria is a great place to live, work,
shop, and play!!! Peoria is located in the Northwest Phoenix metropolitan
area, and is one of the fastest growing municipalities in the United States.
Transformed from a small farming community in a few short years, Peoria has
become a business and medical hub for the Northwest Valley area.
Additionally, Peoria has the lowest
unemployment rate in the valley, which breeds an affluent, young, working
community that enjoys a high quality of life.
Until about ten years ago, the economic
base of Peoria was primarily dependent on the farming and agricultural
industry. This economic base is being replaced by other industries such as
biomedical service, and tourism. New economic activities found in Peoria
include medical laboratories, medical services, research and development
activities, Major League Spring Training Baseball, and Lake Pleasant Harbor and
Marina. Come discover the opportunities available for business and
industry.
