Bullhead City Industry

Continued growth is on the horizon for the Colorado River Valley. The region’s largest employers – the resort, healthcare, government and education sectors – are continuing to invest in infrastructure and new services, betting on continued economic growth. Based on sales tax collections data, the finance, insurance and real estate industry group showed a 36 percent increase last year, while retail trade was up by 21 percent, service industry income grew by 19 percent and the manufacturing industry showed a giant 113 percent increase. This shows the region’s continued commitment toward bringing new industry to the area, evidenced by growth in existing businesses as well as investment in the construction of new industrial park space.

In the construction industry, the number of building permits issued in Bullhead City has skyrocketed over the past three years. In the fiscal year just passed, 920 permits were issued with a valuation of $101.2 million, a 63 percent increase over the 371 permits valued at $37.5 million issued in fiscal year 2002-03.
