Scottsdale City Council unanimously approved a development agreement requiring ASM to build a 400,000-sq-ft facility, add 500 jobs averaging $110,000, and reach $55M in payroll within six years.

The Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce and the city's Economic Development Department coordinate local, state, and federal incentive access for businesses in sectors like wireless payment systems and security software.

Scottsdale's strategic plan prioritizes growing existing industries and bolstering the startup ecosystem, noting that more than 70% of new jobs in a city typically come from existing businesses.
