Ballots are hitting mailboxes this week! In Pinal County you'll see Proposition 486, a measure that's vital for our region's future. Pinal County is at the heart of Arizona's economic engine, playing a pivotal role in supporting our state's booming semiconductor industry and construction supply chain. Our roads and infrastructure connect businesses across the Western U.S., making them essential for continued growth. Why support Prop 486? 🟢 Extends our existing transportation sales tax 🟢 Builds on $300M+ in successful road improvements 🟢 Funds critical safety upgrades and maintenance 🟢 Keeps our supply chain moving efficiently As you receive your ballot, remember: strong infrastructure means a stronger Pinal County. This isn't just about roads – it's about maintaining our position as a key player in Arizona's economic future. Vote YES on Prop 486!

Funding transportation infrastructure is an important policy priority for AAED. We support developing, maintaining, and improving transportation systems that drive business growth and create jobs across the state. Starting this week, voters across Maricopa County will begin receiving their ballots in the mail – and with them, an important choice about our region's future. We support Proposition 479 because it is crucial for our community's economic growth. This measure would extend an existing half-cent sales tax, ensuring dedicated funding for vital transportation projects throughout the county. Why does this matter? Efficient transportation = Thriving businesses Modern infrastructure = Competitive advantage Smart mobility solutions = Attractive communities Read more about Prop 479 here: https://azmag.gov/Prop479 #AAEDAdvocacyUpdate #Prop479 #AZEconomicDevelopment
