Tempe, Arizona
Tempe, Arizona's fifth largest city has successfully
blended the dynamics of a high- tech business center, the
fun and excitement of a resort, the warmth and comfort of
a residential neighborhood, and the "small town"
atmosphere of a college community, to make it the progressive
city that Tempe is.
Nearly 300 days of sunshine a year makes it possible for Tempe
to bring it all together: perfect weather through most of
the year, challenging places to work, a myriad of opportunities
for fun, the best in entertainment and dining, great shopping,
and an unparalleled southwestern lifestyle.
In Tempe and its environs are nearly 30 hotels and inns, which
have a total of 3,500 rooms and offer gourmet dining, top
entertainment, airport transportation, and concierge services.
Tempe is centrally located. Direct access to I-10 and State
Route 60 puts Tempe 10 minutes away from Sky Harbor International
Airport. And proximity to the airport makes Tempe a perfect
destination for the business traveler.
With 50 percent of the East Valley's prime office space situated
within Tempe, the community has a strong base of approximately
225 business firms in the industrial and office parks. Twenty-one
percent of all resident companies in Arizona classified, as
"high tech" are located in Tempe. And Tempe is home
to a national bank’s second largest credit card processing
center, as well as to an international airline.
The nation’s fifth largest university Arizona State
University (ASU) sets the tone of Tempe’s educational
environment. Thirty-two elementary schools, eight middle schools,
and five high schools also serve the educational needs of
the community.

of 43,000 students, 11,000 of who attend graduate classes.
The university's 12 colleges offer baccalaureate degree programs

programs.
ASU elevates Tempe's cultural scene to world-class status.
The famous Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Grady Gammage Memorial
Auditorium brings premier artists in every performing field
to community audiences.
Old Town Tempe is a cultural center in its own right. As the
City's principal business district, it is also its premier
cultural, shopping, and entertainment area, with many of its
shops, boutiques, and restaurants housed in restored structures
built around the turn of the century. Old Town Tempe's Spring
and Fall Festival of the Arts each draws nearly 200,000 people,
who browse the myriad arts and crafts booths, and enjoy the
variety of foods plus the free, live entertainment. The festivals
are held, respectively, on the first weekend of April and
the first weekend of December, and are the second largest
arts festivals in the nation. And Old Town Tempe is also the
place for laughs with the Improv, an offshoot of New York's
famed Comedy Club.
When not taking in culture, Tempe, the sports capitol of the
state, is the place to catch a good game. ASU Sun Devil Stadium
is home to the ASU Sun Devils and the NFL's Phoenix Cardinals,
as well as the setting for the annual Fiesta Bowl. Spectator
sports fans can also watch the Anaheim Angels in spring training
at Tempe's own Diablo Stadium.

similar facilities. Centrally located Kiwanis Community Park

facility currently in development. The project involves converting
the dry bed of the Salt River into a meandering park which,
when completed, will offer 185 surface acres of lakes, ponds,
and streams, plus trails, playing fields, picnic sites, and
