The resolution H.J.R. 2001 aims to renew the designation of the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport as a Military Reuse Zone (MRZ) until October 19, 2031. This designation is part of Arizona's efforts to mitigate the economic impact of military base closures, providing tax incentives to businesses operating within the MRZ. The Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, previously known as Williams Air Force Base, has been designated as an MRZ multiple times since its closure in 1993, with the most recent designation set to expire in 2026. The renewal is expected to support economic redevelopment and job creation in the region.

The resolution outlines that the designation will continue to facilitate commercial and industrial development, contributing to infrastructure improvements and job growth. It also mandates the Secretary of State to transmit copies of the resolution to the cities of Phoenix and Mesa. The resolution is effective upon its general effective date and does not anticipate any fiscal impact on the state General Fund.
