WHY Companies
Thrive in Tucson
Strategic Location
Tucson sits at the crossroads of the American Southwest — within a 1,000-mile radius of more than 70 million U.S. and Mexican consumers, and a short drive from three of the world’s largest economies. Without the congestion, regulations, or cost of a major metro, you get real market access and a genuinely business-friendly operating environment. The UA Tech Park at Rita Road is also located within a designated Foreign Trade Zone, offering qualified companies up to a 72.9% reduction in real and personal property taxes.
Low Cost of Business
Operating costs in Tucson run meaningfully lower than comparable tech markets, across real estate, utilities, and labor. Your dollar goes further here. But lower cost doesn’t mean lower caliber: with a University of Arizona talent pipeline of 51,000+ enrolled students and a robust network of young professionals, the workforce is skilled, diverse, and deeply rooted in the region. Companies don’t just save money here; they stay.
Business Friendly Climate
Arizona’s business climate is purpose-built for growth. Companies at UA Tech Parks can access a suite of state incentives, including Quality Jobs tax credits of up to $3,000 per qualifying job, R&D tax credits, and University Research & Development credits for work conducted with the UA. The UA Tech Park at The Bridges sits within a federally designated Opportunity Zone. And as a Right-to-Work state, Arizona gives companies flexibility in how they build and manage their teams. Whether you’re launching a startup or expanding an established enterprise, Arizona’s incentives and resources ensure businesses have the tools they need to succeed.
Lifestyle Advantage
Tucson is the only UNESCO City of Gastronomy in the United States — a designation that speaks to something real about how people live here. It’s a city that takes pride in its culture, its food, its community, and its landscape. Professionals enjoy short commutes, affordable housing, 350 days of sunshine, and easy access to trails, mountains, and a vibrant arts and dining scene. Time Magazine named Tucson one of the Greatest Places in 2023. People who come here tend to stay — and that kind of rootedness is a retention advantage money can’t buy.

As one of the State’s largest private employers, Raytheon Missile Systems’ success in Tucson over the past 67 years can largely be attributed to our access to the skilled workforce developed here in our own backyard. With our commitment to hire 2,000 employees during the next five years, our business relied on community partners such as the University of Arizona and David-Monthan Air Force Base to help us reach that goal, as well as feed the technical pipeline we require for continued growth.
