The Rio Rico Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to promoting the growth of business and quality of life in Rio Rico and our surrounding communities.
Rio Rico is a planned community covering 39,000 acres in Santa Cruz County, Arizona. It is located 10 miles north of the US/Mexico International border and 55 miles south of Tucson. The area enjoys breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and the Santa Cruz river valley.
Geographical location adds to the Rio Rico business climate! At an elevation of 3500 ft. the community enjoys an excellent year round climate. The sun shines almost everyday and the golf courses seldom miss a day of play.
The community was established in 1969 and was originally part of the Baca Float Land Grant. The Luis Maria Baca family was granted 100,000 acres from the government of Spain. Subsequently granted by the Congress of the United States to the heirs of Luis Maria Baca, it was divided into approximately 25,000 lots known as Rio Rico in 1969. That was equal to one lot for every man, woman and child then living in the entire County of Santa Cruz. The area is ripe to be picked by businesses.

The Rio Rico Chamber of Commerce is doing something different than most Chambers in the United States. Most Chambers, when a new business opens have an official ribbon cutting. Instead, we have an official balloon launching. Click here.
