The City of Tucson’s Economic Initiatives Office has taken a significant step forward by joining the REDI Sites program, earning a Silver designation for the H2K site.

This development promises to bolster local industry and manufacturing, potentially transforming Tucson’s economic landscape.

 

Tucson Participates in the REDI Sites program

The City of Tucson, in collaboration with the Arizona State Land Department and the Arizona Commerce Authority, has proudly announced its participation in the REDI Sites program.

This initiative marks a pivotal moment for Tucson as it aligns with national standards for site readiness assessments.

The H2K site, strategically located along Interstate 10, has been awarded a Silver designation by REDI Sites, signaling its readiness for industrial and advanced manufacturing development.

 

Implications for Tucson’s Economy

The H2K Planned Area Development (PAD) spans over 2,462 acres and is poised to accommodate large-scale facilities that support key industry clusters in Tucson.

With proximity to major transportation hubs like Tucson International Airport and direct access to Interstate 10 via the newly constructed Houghton Road interchange, this site is primed for growth.

The Union Pacific main line runs parallel to the site, with plans for a new rail spur further enhancing connectivity.

 

What This Means for Local Residents

  • Potential job creation in industrial and advanced manufacturing sectors
  • Improved infrastructure and transportation access
  • Increased investment opportunities in the region
  • Enhanced community services due to economic growth

 

A Step Forward in Economic Development

The REDI Sites program was launched in 2024 to standardize site readiness assessments across municipalities and states. By participating in this program, Tucson gains access to a nationwide database of project-ready sites that have undergone rigorous evaluation.

This not only streamlines development processes but also positions Tucson as an attractive destination for investment.

 

Leaders Comments

Barbra Coffee, Director of Economic Initiatives for the City of Tucson, expressed enthusiasm about this achievement:

“This designation demonstrates our commitment to creating a smooth path to development for real estate developers and private industry clients.”

 

Karen Dada from the Arizona State Land Department highlighted the site’s unique characteristics that support advanced manufacturing:

“This important designation recognizes the unique physical and land use characteristics of the site.”

 

Sandra Watson from the Arizona Commerce Authority emphasized how this recognition enhances Tucson’s appeal:

“We look forward to continuing our work with local partners to promote Southern Arizona’s strengths.”

While challenges may arise regarding environmental impacts or public input on future developments at H2K PADs’ expansive area—these are balanced by thorough assessments ensuring sustainable growth aligned with community needs.
