Coconino County
includes the magnificence of the Grand Canyon, the beautiful wooded San Francisco Peaks, and the escarpment of the Painted Desert. North of the Grand Canyon lies the area of Arizona referred to as the Arizona Strip, a large part of which also lies in Mohave County. The area is relatively virgin territory since it is not easily accessible. Coconino is largely an agricultural, lumbering, and livestock area. The County seat is Flagstaff.
The area has an entrepreneurial spirit that cultivates a strong network for business activity. As Northern Arizona's largest city and regional trade center, Flagstaff positions itself in the heart of the southwest. An extensive transportation network with two interstate highways, railroad service, and a commercially served airport offers one-day access to major southwest markets.
New and expanding companies benefit from a well-educated, cultured community. Home of Northern Arizona University and Coconino Community College, industry-tailored courses are available to train your workforce. Our K-12 school district has some of the top schools in the state employing nationally recognized teachers for their teaching excellence.
If you are looking for a strategic location in the southwest, educated workforce, low crime, and an excellent quality of life, Coconino County is the ideal place for your business.
