Principal Economic Activities
Once a traditional agricultural community, St. Johns has become a
location where traditional values and new technology meet at the
crossroads. Two fossil-fueled electric-generating plants employ more than
400 hundred people. On the cutting edge of technology, a data
communications earth station is also located near St. Johns. St. Johns
serves as the Apache County seat and center of governmental activities,
providing employment for more than 300 people. The Arizona Department of
Corrections completed a new facility near St. Johns in 1994. The facility
employs about 115 people. With a high quality of life and among the lowest
property tax rates in the state, the city's economic future is indeed
bright. All of Apache County is a part of the state's Enterprise Zone
program.
