Apache County Broadband Grant
Apache County is buzzing with activity as multiple high-speed internet infrastructure projects are officially underway! We’re thrilled to announce these initiatives that will bring significant advancements in connectivity to our communities. For comprehensive details on these exciting developments, please visit the Apache County Broadband Project information site.
Come see what we have to offer!
Abundant land and beauty have characterized Apache County and our proud, resilient people for over 150 years. We are proud to live, work, and serve here.
Apache County is growing. Our current population of 70,000 is increasing as permanent jobs and support services are created with the expansion of the Springerville Generating Station. Our land values continue to increase as new subdivisions are approved and those living in the more metropolitan parts of the state seek rural property and second homes as a refuge from their daily lives.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to serve our citizens through efficient allocation of resources and services, develop cooperative working relationships with communities and governments, and encourage residents and visitors to enjoy the diverse cultural heritage and abundant outdoor activities this County has to offer.
Vision Statement
We envision a future where residents are healthy and successful and where our communities are safe and vibrant. We will strive to meet and exceed expectations by engaging people and communities in developing innovative solutions to challenges. We will be a diverse learning organization. We will partner with others to enhance the quality of life in Apache County and the region.
