Committee Pushing City's Status to Potential Residents

This month, Where to Retire magazine rated the city of Bullhead City as one of the best places in the country to retire. One of the reasons that the magazine ranked the city so high was because of its affordable communities and close proximity to lakes and parklands. According to the Mohave Valley Daily News, "the magazine also features a cost of living comparison chart with 100 cities based on the ACCRA (American Chamber of Commerce Researchers Association) Cost of Living Index, also used by the Economic Recovery Committee, which is trying to attract 1,000 new residents per year to the Bullhead City area." Additionally, the article names those representing the committee include: Mayor Jack Hakim and City Manager Toby Cotter of the city of Bullhead City, Mohave Valley Contractors Association, with committee chairman Larry Adams, Bullhead Area Chamber of Commerce, with Executive Director Chris Barton, Mohave Valley Chamber of Commerce, with President Diane Olson, Bullhead Regional Economic Development Authority, with President Lisa McCabe and the Bullhead City/Mohave Valley Association of Realtors, with Petra Fahey. Accordingly, the committee is using the ACCRA figures to show Bullhead City has the lowest cost of living in Arizona.
