About Us
Pima County Community and Economic Development (CED) administers Federal, State and local funds, and oversees departments and programs to improve the standard of living for people with lower incomes and people in rural, unincorporated communities. CED oversees county economic development and tourism efforts to develop a healthy economy in partnership with Tucson Regional Economic Opportunities, Inc.
Pima County Community and Economic Development is comprised of four main departments.
Departments
Community Development and Neighborhood Conservation
The Community Development and Neighborhood Conservation department’s mission is to provide resources that strengthen communities and improve the quality of life. This is done through providing affordable housing, assisting with community and rural development, encouraging faith-based and community initiatives and focusing on neighborhood reinvestment projects.
Community Resources
The Community Resources department focuses on providing recreation, health services, education, community enrichment and public services to the citizens of Pima County. The department operates several community facilities, which include the Kino Community Center, Tucson Electric Park and Sports Complex, Pima Vocational High School, and many more.
Community Services, Employment and Training
The Department of Community Services, Employment and Training strives to provide services that assist local employers, improve the education and skill level of workers and youth, increase the average household income, and improve the economic, physical and social well being of the entire community, with particular focus on lower income neighborhoods and communities.
Economic Development And Tourism
The Department of Economic Development and Tourism acts as primary liaison with the business, academic and tourism community to enhance the economic well being of the region. The department also provides business development, marketing, training and revenue enhancement programs to Pima County’s leased asset partners, such as the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Old Tucson Studios, Colossal Cave Mountain Park, Pima Air and Space Museum, Pima County Fairgrounds, and more.
