To begin, the city’s economic development efforts are often accomplished working with partners such as the Economic Collaborative of Northern Arizona (ECONA), Moonshot, Local First, the Chamber of Commerce, the Small Business Development Center, Northern Arizona University, Coconino County and others. The Economic Development Program uses Bed, Board and Beverage (BBB) – Economic Development funding to support and grow the local economy in a number of ways.

One example is entrepreneurial support and facilities provided through Moonshot at the Incubator and Accelerator. This provides businesses coaching and mentorship while founders get their business up and running.
