Survey: Tucson unfriendly to business

The breakpoint. The moment that everyone started paying attention.

Arizona Small Business Association (ASBA) sent a survey to 3000 business to find out which Arizona cities where the best and worst for business.  Tucson was named the most unfriendly, just edging out Mesa. Read the AZ Star article HERE.

“It’s very difficult, specifically for any kind of builder, whether commercial, industrial or residential, because of the myriad regulations in place,” Taczanowski said.
As such, builders in Tucson can get mired in red tape. “You could spend more time reading ordinances and trying to comply with them than you would planning your project,” he said.
While Tucson continues to create roadblocks, rules and ordinances the small business community continues to be delayed and frustrated.  What happened to ‘small business is the lifeblood of our economy?’ It’s time we shift the thinking and impliment a ‘can do attitude’.
