Phil Gardner Quotations

We're hopeful to see dirt flying in August.

Most of it is coming from companies that haven't hired in a couple of years. I don't see a lot of job growth; I see a lot of replacement hiring.

We haven't seen a labor market this strong since prior to January 2001. This is a significant gain.

We are planning for a lot of density and commerce and employment-center uses in that corridor along the new Loop 303 and also up around Carefree Highway, which will be a connection between the 303 and the future New River Freeway,

We don't think it's a problem. We are getting the agreements signed and turned in to us.

There's nobody up here, city senior planner Phil Gardner said of the property.

It's hard to get in, and it's hard to stay in. There's a big weeding out.

The agreements we have are as approved by our city attorney's office. I think we are comfortable with it that way.

The market is nice right now for engineers. But they're going to have to be creative in how they think about using their skills. Everybody's trying to go through the same doors right now with the names they recognize.
