 Pinetop-Lakeside
is a part of the dynamic economic development of Arizona. It offers many
resources: pollution free air, plentiful clean water, forest products,
abundant recreational activities, access to major metropolitan areas, a
refreshing four-season climate, and a well planned rural business
atmosphere to serve the needs of the people in its region.
The economy of Pinetop-Lakeside is heavily
oriented toward trade and services for tourists and recreation seekers, as
well as residents. A winter sports complex, Sunrise
Ski Resort, located 30 miles east of Pinetop-Lakeside on the White
Mountain Apache Indian Reservation, attracts skiers from around the
southwest as well as internationally with its well developed slopes and
facilities. Pinetop-Lakeside provides much of the available lodging,
and local businesses have taken advantage of this new market.
Manufacturing in Navajo County is based
largely on forest products. Raw materials for this industry are provided
by the world's largest stand of Ponderosa pine.
