Today Scottsdale is making a national name for itself in biotech research. The roots of that reputation are squarely planted in 1985, when officials of the legendary Mayo Clinic announced they would open one of its first branches here.
Scottsdale’s first big step beyond a sunny Old West themed resort town toward being a city with a global reputation can be traced to this event. Mayo’s opening in 1987 was the foundation of Scottsdale’s becoming a major medical research hub — and, arguably, it was the vanguard of the recreational, residential and commercial growth of north Scottsdale.
