Economic Activities
Economic
activities are varied; retirement and tourism are an important part of
the economy. Proximity to the
Sitgreaves
National Forest provides recreation opportunities, and
timber is harvested for Precision Pine Sawmill and Stone Container
Paper Mill. A mulch plant processes forest by-products.
Service
businesses provide employment and services for the retirement
community. Government and schools also contribute to the local
economy. Retail trade is increasing. Construction is also a major
factor in the economy.
