BLM picks land near Yuma for possible solar project
February 13, 2012
YumaSun
WASHINGTON - The Bureau of Land Management on Monday put aside nearly 21,000 acres of public land near Yuma for the next two years while it studies its potential for use as a solar energy site.
The agency said Monday that the "segregation" of land in Agua Caliente protects the area from mining claims and other prospective uses as the bureau analyzes its potential.
"We're trying to identify the best places to develop renewable energy," said Lane Cowger, BLM deputy project manager in Arizona. "There's real potential we think in the Agua Caliente site."

February 13, 2012
Area Development
Ulthera, Inc., a medical device company pioneering aesthetic and medical applications using therapeutic ultrasound platform technology, will invest $1.68 million to expand its operation in Mesa, Arizona and create more than 100 high-paying jobs.
The state's perceived pro-business environment, which provides businesses with funding and job training incentives, kept Ulthera from relocating outside the state, a Phoenix Economic Council spokesman said. Officials see Ulthera's decision as a first step in attracting other technology companies, offering high-paying jobs to the area.

Sam's Club and a huge Canadian equipment auction yard are still on the books but are still a couple of years away, the Casa Grande Industrial Development Authority was told during its meeting last week.
On the other hand, City Manager Jim Thompson said, the huge Phoenix Mart project east of The Promenade at Casa Grande should begin moving dirt this summer.
"Ritchie Bros. Auction has been pushed back to probably 2014," Thompson said. "They'll do some work this year, start construction in 2013, be open in 2014."
Ritchie Bros., which has operations in 41 countries, would draw from around the world to the Casa Grande yard south of Jimmie Kerr Boulevard and east of Interstate 10.
