Arizona’s future depends on responsible, long-term water management. Despite decades of responsible planning, significant investment, and sound management, Friday’s announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior places Arizona in an unfair and untenable position regarding the future of the Colorado River.

The proposal is fundamentally imbalanced. Arizona has already absorbed substantial reductions in its Colorado River allocation, invested billions of dollars in water infrastructure, prioritized conservation, and today uses less water than it did in the 1950s despite tremendous population and economic growth. That record proves Arizona has successfully decoupled economic growth from water use. No state along the Colorado River has been more proactive or more responsible in managing its water resources than Arizona.

We are grateful to Arizona Governor Hobbs, House Speaker Montenegro, Senate President Petersen, Arizona’s congressional delegation, CREDA Arizona’s members, and the business community for their continued leadership and commitment to protecting our state’s water future. Now is not the time to let up.
CREDA Arizona and our partners will continue working across party lines to ensure Arizona is treated fairly. We will continue pressing the federal government to recognize Arizona’s leadership, protect our water future, and support the continued economic strength Arizona has achieved through conservation, innovation, and responsible growth.

“We want to be partners. There may be differences of opinion at times, but there are areas where we need to be rowing in the same direction. If we spend all our time fighting each other, we’ll never get to where we need to be.” — Jim Pratt, general manager and CEO of SRP.

“The anti-infrastructure mindset out there is not helpful to any of us. While there’s a right place for these projects, it’s necessary for us to serve our communities. We have to make sure people feel heard and explain why it needs to be built — but we can’t be the only ones telling that story. We need your help.” — Ted Geisler, president and CEO of APS.

Today marks a new era for our organization as NAIOP Arizona officially becomes the Commercial Real Estate Development Association Arizona (CREDA Arizona).

This transition reflects the work of our 22,000+ members across North America who power economic growth and strengthen communities. From multifamily housing and retail destinations to industrial facilities, logistics hubs, office buildings, mixed-use developments, healthcare campuses, data centers, and beyond, our members deliver the spaces where people live, work, shop, connect, innovate, and thrive. Our new name better reflects the work of our members and the impact they have on communities across Arizona and North America.

While our name has changed, our mission remains the same. Here in Arizona, we remain committed to advocacy, research, education, and connections that help our members succeed and strengthen Arizona's commercial real estate industry.

As part of this transition, you will begin seeing our new CREDA Arizona branding across our website, email communications, and social media channels. Existing NAIOP Arizona web links will continue to work and automatically redirect to our new website.

We are excited about what lies ahead and grateful to our members, partners, and supporters for being part of this new chapter.
