Business Attraction and Retention Committee aka The BAR

In late 2015 the Chamber of Commerce, with the financial support of Resolution Copper Mining, embarked on a large, long term, project to attract new business and help our existing businesses increase their bottom line. We hired several consultants, all with various areas of expertise, who held community meetings, interviewed hundreds of people and produced recommendations for what needed to be done.

Our objective is to “Build a diverse and sustainable economy for the Superior Community”
In order to meet this objective we adopted 4 goals.

1. Strengthen a productive and mutually beneficial partnership with the Town of Superior Government to advance community and economic development for the benefit of all Superior Citizens.
2. Build Superior’s internal capacity to facilitate and accommodate economic development.
3. Leverage existing assets and economic drivers in both Superior’s built and natural environments.
4. Strengthen and promote Superior’s identity, marketing the community externally to businesses, visitors and decision-makers and, internally, promoting support amongst residents for economic development.

Three sub-committees were created; Marketing, Art and Culture and Blight Mitigation. All are working hard toward our goals and will be posting updates on the website periodically. We welcome comments and suggestions to be sent to the Chamber of Commerce through our website www.superiorarizonachamber.org
