Stand together for a
safer, stronger Scottsdale
Decline to sign the petition to block Axon’s new corporate campus
Scottsdale Police Chief Jeff Walther: “Scottsdale is safer with Axon in our backyard.”
A homegrown Scottsdale success story, Axon’s leading-edge public safety technology has made every Arizona resident and every Arizona law enforcement officer safer for the past 30 years.
The company’s new global headquarters campus, located along the Loop 101 and Hayden Road, will keep this fast-growing tech leader right here in Scottsdale — while contributing more than $40 billion to the state economy over the next decade.
Unfortunately, a group of misguided opponents have launched a petition drive to kill Axon’s zoning agreement with the City. Their campaign — funded with secret money and using California-based petition circulators — could succeed in chasing Axon out of Scottsdale and Arizona forever.
Do you want to keep Scottsdale strong and safe? Do you want more than 5,000 new career jobs that pay an average of $135,000 a year?
Then decline to sign this misleading petition.

Axon has worked with neighbors and Scottsdale leaders for years to create a win-win campus that doesn’t take a penny in city subsidies. The tax boost Axon provides will pay for more first responders, faster 911 response times, better roads, and improved city services.

Would you rather…
a vibrant corporate campus or an industrial wasteland?
Some opponents have started a petition to stop the development of Axon’s new campus in North Scottsdale. If they are successful, we would not be welcoming a stunning mixed-use campus with housing, restaurants, shops and parks — not to mention the improved public safety, public service and economic growth benefits — into our neighborhood.
Instead, we should prepare for the land to become an industrial use site. Like a massive distribution center with thousands of 18-wheelers cycling through per day. A sterile warehouse with no community integration or green space. A heavy manufacturing plant with noise and environmental pollution.
If Axon’s HQ project is blocked, we should prepare for the worst.
Scottsdale wants Axon to stay.
Don’t be fooled by a few loud voices.

Arizona is fortunate to have a robust company like Axon in its technology ecosystem and Scottsdale accommodating its plans for a new HQ campus would be a win for the Valley.
