Investing in a
Vibrant Future.
We enable strategic economic and community development by providing financing and access to capital for projects and programs that benefit a thriving Tucson.
Holistic economic development empowers good jobs, affordable homes, healthy neighborhoods, sustainable infrastructure, and equitable opportunities for all.
"Tucson IDA’s Bond Financing program was the only option available to us for rehabilitating 14 buildings for over 100 residents at Catalina Village Assisted Living. Tucson IDA understood the community need and offered us a well laid out program managed by a highly competent staff."
–Terry McNellis, Catalina Village Assisted Living, Inc.

Tucson IDA in Action
Tucson IDA’s annual $250,000, short term, bridge loan did more than help us manage a challenge in our cash flow cycle. The community loan helped us increase income and productivity, even during adverse market factors that were unforeseen and uncontrollable.
This true sign of burgeoning fiscal health is a manifestation of the importance of the work the IDA does within our communities.
Billy Russo, Managing Director, Arizona Theater Company
