A Vested Interest in Helping Maricopa Thrive
Brent Murphree is a vital part of the team that has built
and incorporated the City of Maricopa.   For years the
area had languored in the hands of Pinal County officials
who had no vision for growth and saw Maricopa as the
poor relation in county politics.  Finally, with a growing
population base, Brent and a handful of other citizens
lept at the opportunity to help Maricopa control its own
destiny. The 2003 incorporation of Maricopa took the
town from an overlooked agriculture and transportation
center on the west side of Pinal County to a vital,
municipality which is now being recognized nationally as
a model for municipal growth.

Today, we need to look forward, understanding the issues
of the past and moving Maricopa to its potential.
