Our Focus

We are focused on five pillars to improve Bisbee's economy.  We believe it will be essential to interlock these efforts to ensure sustainability and deliver results - for businesses and our guests.

 

Each of these pillars represents a workgroup consisting of Bisbee business leaders, who come together to create priorities and develop tangible recommendations for the city to embrace.​
