Arizona could unlock tens of billions of dollars in annual economic gains by aligning public investments with voter priorities in education, child care, housing and infrastructure, according to a new report released by the Center for the Future of Arizona.
The report, titled “Unlocking Potential,” was developed by Rounds Consulting Group and led by Jim Rounds, president and CEO of the firm and a longtime economic and public policy advisor in the state.
The analysis estimates potential returns on investment if Arizona addressed five public priorities Rounds cites as widely supported by voters: child care affordability, dual enrollment access, postsecondary attainment, housing affordability and transportation infrastructure.
