A $26,283 one-year contract renewal for economic development services from Greater Phoenix Economic Council has been approved for the city of Apache Junction.
The cost is based on $0.6252 per capita for Apache Junction’s Pinal County population of 41,782 and $0.4897 per capita for the Maricopa County population of 328, Janine Solley, the city’s economic development director, said in a staff report to the City Council.
The council on June 15 voted unanimously, with Gail Evans by phone, to approve the one-year contract and Mayor Chip Wilson’s recommendation to have Council member Kelly Gremmel serve as Apache Junction’s representative on the GPEC Board of Directors.
