==Economy== [[File:AZ City Cotton Field.jpg|left|thumb|A cotton farm on the west side of Arizona City.]] Historically, Arizona City's only employers have been the farms that surround the area and the few service jobs that exist within the townsite. However, being located in the middle of the [[Arizona Sun Corridor]] region, Arizona City's economy may soon be impacted by several large proposed attractions and factories that will potentially add 30,000 new jobs and attract up to 4 million visitors annually.<ref>{{Cite web|last=newsite5|title=Economic Development|url=https://casagrandeaz.gov/economic-development/|access-date=September 20, 2021|website=City of Casa Grande|language=en-US}}</ref> One of these developments is the Dreamport Villages project, which is a $4 billion [[destination resort]] that will be located {{convert|3|mi|km}} north of Arizona City. This project will contain an [[extreme sports]] venue, [[water parks]], restaurants, retail space, a residential area, and a fully themed [[amusement park]] comparable to [[Walt Disney World]].<ref>{{cite web| url = https://azbex.com/4b-theme-park-planned-for-casa-grande/| title = Reference at azbex.com}}</ref> Another approved project is the Attesa Motorsports Park, which will be a 2,360-acre (955 ha) [[motorsports]] complex featuring two {{convert|2.8|mi|km|adj=on}} road courses, a driver experience center, and an event center. This project alone is expected to create more than 10,000 permanent jobs and will be located {{convert|10|mi|km}} to the northwest of Arizona City, adjacent to Interstate 8.<ref>{{Cite web|last=newsite5|date=August 8, 2017|title=Attesa|url=https://casagrandeaz.gov/attesa/|access-date=September 20, 2021|website=City of Casa Grande|language=en-US}}</ref> Phoenixmart was promised to boost the economy, the project never came to fruition and the site is just an empty building. [[Lucid Motors]], a [[Silicon Valley]] electric car company startup, has confirmed that it will build a $700 million [[electric car]] manufacturing plant in the nearby city of Casa Grande that will employ 2,000 workers by 2022.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Blufish|date=February 6, 2017|title=How Casa Grande secured the Lucid Motors manufacturing facility|url=https://azbigmedia.com/real-estate/driving-in-manufacturing/|access-date=September 20, 2021|website=AZ Big Media|language=en-US}}</ref> Services in the area are very limited and travel outside of area is required for basic necessities (30 minutes - 1 Hour) to surrounding cities. USPS in the area is a contracted post office which offers free e PO box to residents since they do not service the area (curbside delivery or home delivery) as surrounding areas do. Petitions have been established to change the current inefficient and inadequate method.
