Workforce & Industrial Development

Avondale, located in the fast-growing West Valley of Greater Phoenix, is rapidly establishing itself as a strategic destination for industrial, logistics, and advanced manufacturing operations. With direct access to Interstate 10 and proximity to Loop 101 and Loop 303, Avondale offers seamless connectivity for regional and national distribution networks. The city is just 15 miles from downtown Phoenix and less than 30 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, making it highly attractive for companies seeking both workforce and market access.

Industrial development in Avondale has accelerated, with major projects like the Fairway 10 and Avondale Commerce Park providing state-of-the-art warehouse and distribution space. The city’s industrial vacancy rates remain low, reflecting strong demand and a robust pipeline of new construction. Avondale’s economic development team actively supports site selectors and businesses with tailored assistance, expedited permitting, and connections to key regional partners.

Arizona’s pro-business climate further enhances Avondale’s appeal. State incentives such as the Arizona Competes Fund and Quality Jobs Tax Credit help reduce costs for expanding and relocating companies. Workforce development is also a priority, with local partnerships connecting employers to skilled talent through Maricopa County’s workforce programs and the nearby Estrella Mountain Community College, which offers training in advanced manufacturing and logistics.
