“The Cactus League’s Impact on Arizona” will be the topic at the Arizona Association for Economic Development’s (AAED) February luncheon. It will be held on Feb. 11 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. at 2901 N. Seventh St. in Phoenix.
Bridget Binsbacher, executive director of the Cactus League Baseball Association, Inc., along with Tammy Carr, principal of Mortenson, will share their insights and provide information on how the Cactus League has benefited all communities in Arizona.
James Smith, CEcD, economic development director of the Town of Fountain Hills, will moderate the discussion, which will touch on the Cactus League’s strength as an economic driver for tourism, development and construction in Arizona and how communities – even if they do not have a team – can maximize these benefits.
