BMW and Susan G. Komen for the Cure Select Linda Herold for
Local Hero Award
BMW North Scottsdale and the Phoenix chapter of Susan G. Komen for
the Cure selected Linda Herold as their Local Hero for the 12th
Annual BMW Ultimate Drive®. Linda’s ongoing contributions locally
in the fight against breast cancer were recognized at a special
awards ceremony on Wednesday, May 14, at BMW North Scottsdale. The
cross-country event will visit more than 200 BMW Centers
nationwide in support of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. At each
stop, BMW and the Komen Foundation honor one individual from the
community who champions the breast cancer cause. The BMW Ultimate
Drive® program is a national breast health outreach campaign in
support of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. For each test mile driven
in a BMW, $1 will be donated to the Komen Foundation on behalf of
the driver. Participation is free and open to the public. BMW’s
goal this year is to log up to 1 million miles – and raise $1
million to eradicate breast cancer. Susan G. Komen for the Cure®
is the world’s largest and most proactive grassroots network
fighting to end breast cancer forever.

Top 100 List
by Glenn Hamer
Three Arizona cities cracked the top 100 list of Fortune
Magazine's "100 Best Places to Live and Launch 2008." Scottsdale,
Oro Valley, and Prescott all made a showing, representing the
central, southern, and northern parts of our great state.
Scottsdale ranked highest at 25, with the city's "pros"
listed as a large entrepreneurial community, high volume of
tourist traffic, and lots of culture and nightlife. Named "cons"
are a relatively high cost of commercial space and lots of
competition. The article cites Scottsdale's 2,200 small businesses
and boasts of it bringing in $3.3 billion in five years to the
revitalizing downtown center.
Oro Valley was featured in an earlier issue of Fortune as
an up-and-coming location for the biotechnology industry. At #44
on the top 100 list, Oro Valley's population has increased by 25
percent since 2000. Fortune credits this increase in part because
of a strongly pro-business local government and a high start-up
business rate. With 83 new businesses licensed in 2007, they
calculate that's two for every 1,000 inhabitants.
Prescott makes the list at 92. Fortune calls the city
"ripe" for business startups in the tourism and service
industries, as well as manufacturing. These industries can take
advantage of Prescott's tax climate that includes: no sales tax on
manufactured goods, no property tax on business inventories, and
no tax on raw materials, finished products, or parts. Also a plus
for manufacturing is the easy access to truck freight lines and
interstates running through Arizona.
Like many Arizona locations, each of these cities is doing
something right to make itself attractive to new and expanding
businesses. Congratulations to these three Arizona cities for
making our state a desirable business destination!
