Chandler, the fourth largest city in Arizona, has grown significantly since the 1990s. Located just 30 minutes southeast of Phoenix, it is one of the fastest growing innovation and technology centers in the country. At one time, the main business was agriculture based on cotton, corn & ostrich farms. It still has an Ostrich Festival annually. Chandler has changed and the current dry climate is ideal for production of microchips. Chandler now has hi-tech forms such as Intel, NXP & Microchip Technology which has created thousands of jobs.
