The city of Glendale’s economic development efforts have initiated exciting new projects for its citizens to look forward to.  Specifically, St. Joseph’s Westgate Medical Center is under construction in near the Loop 101 and Glendale Avenue. The $44 million Dignity Health facility is scheduled to open in early 2014 with phase one including a 60,000 square-foot hospital on 35 acres with an emergency room, 24 inpatient beds, two operating rooms and diagnostic services.

The city also welcomes ZyTech Building Systems, a Canadian company that chose Glendale for its first US headquarters after working with GPEC and the Arizona Commerce Authority.  ZyTech, located at 8205 N. 67th Avenue, is a provider of roof trusses, floor systems, wall systems and lumber packages to home-builders and contractors for track housing, custom homes, multi-family, commercial and large span projects.

In addition, North Glendale is home to the new Arrowhead Cadillac which is currently under construction at 83rd Avenue and Bell Road.   The 55,000- square-foot luxury car dealership is a $16 million investment by the Van Tuyl Group, Inc., which provides management consulting services to the largest group of privately held dealerships in the United States.

The city’s economic development continues to better the community and the environment for its residents and local businesses.
