Ep. 78 - The Growth Advocate: Clark Princell on Housing, Politics, and Arizona’s Development Future
Wednesday, 15 July, 2026

Arizona continues to be one of the fastest-growing states in the nation, but who is shaping the policies and conversations behind that growth? On this episode of Dirt to Development, we sit down with Clark Princell, President and CEO of Valley Partnership, to discuss the forces driving development across the Valley and the challenges that threaten to slow it down. From housing affordability and entitlement battles to infrastructure planning, legislative priorities, and the rise of neighborhood opposition, Clark offers a candid look at the intersection of politics, policy, and real estate development in Arizona. The conversation explores what Arizona is getting right, where local governments can improve, and why continued collaboration between the public and private sectors is essential to maintaining the state's economic competitiveness.
