The East Valley office will be targeting professionals and businesses in Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Apache Junction, Queen Creek and the Williams Gateway area, Valenzuela said.

"I think the East Valley is poised for huge growth," she said."We've seen tremendous residential development out there, and that always is going to bring businesses.I'm hoping that along the Loop 202 we're going to start seeing a corridor of light-industrial and business development follow that great path of being able to have quick access to anywhere else in the Valley."

Williams Gateway also is going to become a "huge mecca" for business development in the next few years as more people start recognizing the benefit of having that airstrip there and "and turning it into a Scottsdale Airpark kind of scenario," Valenzuela said.
