About

Joe McClure has served as a consultant in economic development and other regional development matters for over 35 years. He directs the technical aspects of regional/land economic services and coordinates creative activities that include promoting innovation in economic/community development strategic planning. McClure has been retained by both private developers and public agencies at all levels of government, for projects in small and large cities, undeveloped and heavily developed regions, and regions with special demographic and cultural characteristics, including US Native American communities and Pacific islands.

His organizational affiliations include the Western Regional Science Association (WRSA), an international group of regional economists, and the Arizona Association for Economic Development (AAED). He has served as adjunct lecturer at the University of Arizona in the Geography and Regional Development program, and as a civil engineering officer in the US Air Force.
