Marana is a forward-thinking, innovative Southern Arizona community. The Town conveniently sits along 18 miles of Interstate 10 in the growing Sun Corridor of Arizona, between Tucson and Phoenix, the state capital.

The Town was incorporated in 1977 and grew from 14,046 residents in 2000 to nearly 35,000 in 2010. People move here for a variety of reasons, including job opportunities, highly rated schools and the ability to a suburban lifestyle in a rural setting. The Town’s employment base includes aerospace manufacturing, agriculture, construction, wholesale trade, retail trade, transportation and information systems.

Marana is also home to the PGA TOUR Accenture Match Play Championship, an event contested by the world's 64 best pro golfers and watched on television by millions across the globe. The tournament is held annually at the Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, the largest Ritz-branded property in the Southwest. The 2012 tournament is Feb. 20-26.

Marana is bisected by Interstate 10 and the Union Pacific Railroad. Both transportation arteries are important to the growth and economic development of Marana's business community. Aviation is also an important component, with the Marana Regional Airport and nearby Pinal Airpark serving industry and general aviation needs.
