AzTAP

In This Section

  1. Interested in an AzTAP in Your Community?

Overview

The Arizona Technical Assistance Program (AzTAP) was instituted to afford high-level land use and real estate executives an opportunity to help communities in Arizona with difficult development and planning issues.  The AzTAP team is a service offered by the Arizona District Council of the Urban Land Institute to assist Arizona municipalities, counties, regions, and non-profits in the preliminary study of unique land use planning, development, and re-development issues.  The District Council’s goal is to make some of the best and brightest talent in the industry available to local government.


Completed AzTAP Reports:

The City of Eloy used the results of ULI Arizona’s original AzTAP report completed in 2015 as a guideline for a five-year Economic Development Strategic Plan.  In 2023, ULI Arizona engaged with the City to update the report, discussing ways for the City to continue the transition and develop a gateway to downtown, encourage and implement meaningful utilization of vacant and privately owned buildings on Main Street and create buy-in from surrounding residents and absentee property owners.
