In this episode, we sit down with Scott Freitag, co-owner of JSO Contracting, Realtor with Arizona Commercial Real Estate Advisors, and a proud member of GRYT, to talk about the future of growth in Central Arizona.

Scott shares why GRYT was created, what sets it apart from traditional economic development groups, and why a regional, business-led, grassroots approach is critical for sustainable growth.
From smart planning and workforce development to water, housing, and community engagement, this conversation dives into the real challenges—and opportunities—facing Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, and the surrounding region.
We also discuss the importance of businesses having a voice, how misinformation and loud opposition can derail progress, and why staying engaged matters—not just for today, but for future generations.
If you care about balanced growth, collaboration, and keeping Central Arizona thriving, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
