The Town of Fountain Hills has long had an economic development goal of attracting an element of higher education to the community including a potential satellite campus with certificate programs or on-the-job training.
However, when three representatives of the University of Arizona spoke to the Town Council April 16, that is not what they were discussing.
Economic Development Director Amanda Jacobs arranged for the fairly brief presentation, which highlighted general resources the university has that would be available to the town. They talked about how to connect with the university with career fairs and cultivation of an on-campus presence.
