Testimonials “As a development consultant, supporting MPA is a no-brainer--it is the region’s advocate for the commercial real estate industry.” – Lucinda Smedley, Real Estate Consulting Group (RECG) and TREND Report As a firm primarily involved in public sector work, BWS Architects has gained access to whole new segment of the regional development community through our membership and engagement in MPA. MPA also provides an extraordinary opportunity to interact with our clients on relevant issues beyond the scope of any one individual project. It helps us to have a richer understanding of our client’s goals and objectives from a broader perspective and to be part of the positive resolution of impediments to our mutual success. – Robin Shambach, Principal at BWS Architects (Regarding the change in Pima County sewer connection fees) ”I believe [MPA] saved my company a million dollars.” – Roger Karber, Alta Vista Communities “We’ve been members of MPA for over a decade. The organization is one of a kind in our region, in part because MPA is a powerful voice for reasoned, thoughtful policy on real estate and land development in Southern Arizona. It has been valuable for our company to be involved in the discussion and the effort for our community’s stakeholders to find common ground on issues that affect us all.” – Jeremy Sharpe, Rancho Sahuarita Company "I have been involved in MPA for almost a decade. MPA is the group in Tucson that is actively addressing development issues and having great results. Their breakfasts provide a wealth of information and are a great networking opportunity. For my money, MPA is the organization to join.” – William “Bill” Carroll, PE, Sr. Vice President, Engineering and Environmental Consultants, Inc. (EEC) "The Town of Marana finds value in partnering with MPA. We highly respect MPA's leadership and the methods they use in trying to create resolutions that benefit the entire community." – Mayor Ed Honea, Town of Marana "MPA is one of the few organizations that truly gets down into the trenches and actually makes things happen to improve our regions quality of life and business environment. MPA does this through a collaborative effort with local jurisdictions, creating intelligent solutions to our community's planning, development and growth challenges.” – Thomas J. Nieman, Principal, PICOR "Wow- I've known that MPA is involved and important, but seeing this list of accomplishments really brings home how the organization has grown and become a true advocate for smart policy! Congratulations!" – Mitch Basefsky, Central Arizona Project (CAP (Regarding sewer connection fees credits) "Well worth my dues!" – Jeff Grobstein, Region President, Meritage Homes “Since joining MPA, we have met many numerous peers that share the same goals and values for development within the region. In addition, CYPRESS has become involved in several MPA Committees that operate on the forefront of policy change which is invaluable for our business and keeps us better informed. In a Town full of “alphabet” groups, MPA stands out as one of the few that brings together so many within the development community and has a strong voice as a result.” – Kevin Hall, Cypress Civil Development
