Get Your New Life in Shape!

From meeting new people to setting up home entertainment, these links can help you get a new lease on life!

  • AZ Department of Motor Vehicles
  • Phone, Internet, and TV – You can get these from Cox or from CenturyLink
  • Water, sewer, trash, etc – contact the city you’re moving to (use website links on this page)

Check out local businesses at the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, Gilbert Chamber of Commerce, Chandler Chamber of Commerce, Queen Creek Chamber of Commerce, or the Mesa Chamber of Commerce. The award-winning website for the metro daily newspaper, The Arizona Republic, is a great place to start a job search (some content behind a paywall).
