Growing Smarter Guiding Principles

Governor Janet Napolitano requested the Growing Smarter Oversight Council utilize a grassroots process and develop a set of Guiding Principles to ensure that Arizona's growth maintains & enhances our quality of life. After eighteen Listening Sessions, a statewide telephone poll, & months of careful deliberation, the Council has developed a set of proposed Growing Smarter Guiding Principles to help manage Arizona's rapid growth & long term planning for the next 100 years.

Members of the public are encouraged to review the proposed Guiding Principles & participate in a survey to provide the Growing Smarter Oversight Council with further comments & ideas.

Visit the Arizona Department of Commerce website at www.azcommerce.com under Growing Smarter for access to the full report & to take part in the survey. The public review period will extend through August 4th. Please also feel free to send any comments or questions you have regarding the Growing Smarter Guiding Principles to guidingprinciples@azcommerce.com.
