The Pima Association of Governments’ (PAG) Regional Council has presented First Impressions awards to two northwest businesses. TRICO Electric Cooperative on West Tangerine Road and Jack in the Box at Ina Road and I-10 both have well designed landscapes that earned the awards.

“These two businesses have planted trees, saguaros, and other vegetation that offer a beautiful desert landscape,” said Dennis Dickerson, coordinator of the regional beautification effort for PAG. “We will continue to look for model businesses throughout the region that set positive examples.”

The First Impressions award is given in an effort to recognize businesses that leave a positive first impression on visitors to the region.
