A primary objective of the plan is to help local governments, fire departments, and residents identify at-risk public and private lands to better protect those lands from severe wildfire threat. Additional functions of the plan are to improve fire prevention and suppression activities, as well as to identify funding needs and opportunities to reduce the risk of wildland fire and enhance public and firefighter safety.

The Southern Gila County Community Wildfire Protection Plan was developed in response to the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 for the at-risk communities and unincorporated areas in southern Gila County, Arizona, located south of the Rim Country CWPP area and the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation. Public lands within the CWPP analysis area are administered by the US Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Gila District Office, Tucson Field Office; the Tonto National Forest; and the National Park Service Tonto National Monument.

The 2016 College Football Playoff National Championship Game was held on January 11, 2016, in Glendale, Arizona. The W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University was commissioned to conduct an economic impact assessment of the Game and events surrounding it, including the impact of direct and indirect visitor and organizational expenditures. This study utilized multiple research, survey and analytical methodologies. This report will outline the methodologies used and the results obtained in the study and the economic impact. 

This study examines the economic impact of the Central Arizona Project (CAP) to the State of Arizona in two aspects: the construction of CAP, 1973‐1993; and the impact of CAP's water supply delivery operations, 1986‐2010. A modified IMPLAN input‐output model for the State of Arizona is used to implement both analyses. The economic impacts for each analysis are assessed in terms of gross state product (GSP) and employment.
