Holbrook is an important trade center for northeastern Arizona. Its
location on historic Route 66 and on Interstate 40 at the junction of four
major highways, between the Apache Sitgreaves National Forest to the south
and the Navajo and Hopi Indian Reservations to the north, makes tourism
important to the local economy.
Government employment is also significant because Holbrook is the
Navajo County seat and the site of various state and federal field
offices. All of Navajo County is a designated Enterprise Zone.
The Cholla Power Plant, Arizona Public Service's largest coal-fired
generating station, is located just outside of Holbrook and employs
approximately 250 workers.
