Tucson, Arizona
has been continuously settled for over 12,000 years. It celebrates a
diversity of cultures, architecture, and peoples. Yet, it is one of the
"Mega-Trend" cities of the 21st Century: the Optics Valley, premier
health services center for the Southwest, the astronomy center of the
world, home of a premier research institution - University of Arizona,
and a tourism destination.
Tucson boasts the best of both worlds...the progress and innovation of a
metropolitan community and the friendly, caring atmosphere of a small
town. |
