Communities where folks live, work and play has been the foundation from which the West Valley has grown, but many West Valley residents have been left out of the fun as they spend a large amount of time commuting to the East Valley for work.
WESTMARC and its new CEO Sintra Hoffman hope to change that for West Valley residents as WESTMARC gears up to bring more high-paying jobs, and, in turn, more development to the west side of the Valley.
