Glendale and AAA announce 1,400 jobs at new corporate center

On Thursday, Jan. 26, the city of Glendale formally announced an agreement to bring a AAA Regional Center to the Talavi Business Park, located at 5353 W. Bell Road. This announcement fits with the city’s overall strategy to bring quality, high-paying jobs to Glendale and is the largest business locate that the Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC) has ever assisted with in the West Valley.

"We are very pleased to welcome AAA to our community," says Mayor Elaine Scruggs. "We are extremely proud that this leader in the travel industry has chosen to locate in Glendale. Their corporate presence enhances our city's reputation as a great place to live, an exciting destination to visit and a vibrant community that offers dynamic job opportunities."

Details of the Deal

The office will house up to 1,400 jobs in the next three years, making it one of the city’s top five largest employers. A significant number of jobs will be considered high-wage positions, paying $75,000 or more.

It is estimated that this corporate presence will provide $42.1 million in capital investment to the city of Glendale, and over 10 years, Glendale will see direct revenues of $12 million, with a regional direct benefit estimated at $1.8 billion.

Regional Partners

Regional partners in the project include the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, Maricopa Community Colleges, Arizona Department of Commerce and Maricopa Workforce Connections.
