City West Bank wants to help the Arizona Agriculture Division you lead by expanding this industry further. We offer low-interest loans and provide expert advice through our connections to area chambers of commerce and to agricultural researchers at Arizona's state universities. We recognize that agritourism in southwest Arizona is growing as a result of the popularity of farm tours, bird-watching, and scenic country lodging, but tourism is unlikely to surpass the strength of this region's agriculture production. We support farmers in many counties in Arizona and are poised to help the citrus growers in Yuma County. Together, we can accomplish great things.
