ITRA Global Report Makes the Case That Bio Tech Companies Should Consider Tucson, Arizona for Relocation or Expansion

/in , /by


Tucson, Arizona (PRWEB) November 27, 2013

Tucson, Arizona should be on any bioscience or biotechnology company’s short list for relocation or expansion, according to a white paper issued by ITRA Global affiliate Commercial Real Estate Group of Tucson LLC.

The nine-page report, “The Bio Industry in Tucson, Arizona,” points out that several bioscience companies already thrive in the region, including Ventana Medical Systems, Sanofi and SynCardia Systems. It also mentions that Accelerate Diagnostics moved from Denver to Tucson in 2012.

“I was impressed from my first contacts with Pima County, the Tucson mayor’s office, the state of Arizona and the Tucson Regional Economic Opportunities Office,” Accelerate President and CEO, Lawrence Mehren, is quoted as saying in the white paper. “We could tell this was a place that valued our businesses and wanted to help.”

“Proximity to large private enterprises in bioscience is only one of the reasons Tucson is a rising biotechnology star,” says Michael Coretz, principal of Commercial Real Estate Group of Tucson / ITRA Global. “Our city also boasts available venture capital, an encouraging spirit of entrepreneurship and a strong research community, including the University of Arizona’s Bio5 Institute.”

The availability of federal and state government funding and a highly skilled workforce are other reasons Tucson, the hub of Southern Arizona, should get prime consideration by biotechnology and bioscience firms, the report says.

Commercial Real Estate of Tucson is the Tucson Affiliate of ITRA Global and Michael Coretz is a site selection expert with indepth knowledge of biotech companies for local, regional and national clients. Specialized real estate needs for this industry are addressed in the white paper, which is available on the CREG of Tucson website.

Crowdfunding Expert Kendall Almerico Comments On Why Detroit Should Use Crowdfunding For Civic Needs

/in , /by


Tampa, FL (PRWEB) September 30, 2013

Crowdfunding expert Kendall Almerico, CEO of crowdfunding website http://www.ClickStartMe.com, commented on why Detroit should harness crowd-funding for civic needs and how crowd finding will revolutionize the “pay it forward” movement. Almerico says that using crowdfunding to do good in a community gives us the avenue to take back community initiatives.

“As members of our communities we are always lobbying to move forward with worthwhile projects and programs that help and grow the communities we live in. With good-deed focused crowdfunding, we make sure those projects happen,” Almerico, the nationally publicized crowdfunding expert says, “We vote for what we believe in, but sometimes that is not enough to get it done.”

Almerico points out that while initiatives like the 10-foot Robocop statue are heavily supported by the community, before crowdfunding, there was no way for the members of the Detroit community to get this icon created for their city.

Communtiy crowdfunding is the collective effort of members of a community to pool their donations through an online crowdfunding portal. At present, most crowdfunding efforts have been used to support new product ideas or artistic creations, but with the help of sites like http://www.ClickStartMe.com individuals in a community can use crowdfunding to ensure that their tax-deductible donations directly fund the community projects they feel most strongly about.

“We, as a community, are already paying for community projects through tax dollars,” Almerico says. “Community crowdfunding just allows us to have more of a say on where some of those dollars go by using tax deductible donations to directly benefit causes.”

Almerico hopes this movement towards community crowdfunding will enhance the “pay it forward” movement. “Helping people that really deserve it is not a new concept.” Almerico adds, “America needs a way to have their small good deed count for something big.”
