Arizona is home to some smart cookies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tempe and Tucson have both been named as some of the smartest cities in the world. The Arizona cities have each snagged a\u00a0Smart 50 Award<\/a>, which identifies cities that have innovative and influential projects with current or future municipal-scale impacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tempe was recognized for its innovation in advancing community health and fighting Covid-19 through its wastewater science program that measures the signal of Covid-19 in community wastewater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Smart 50 Award panelists, \u201cTempe\u2019s program serves to influence and encourage other cities by being a model for creating an early warning signal program for protecting community wellness, driving decision-making with data, communicating with transparency, and cultivating community trust. This is all accomplished with compassion, unparalleled service and science.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tucson’s Project Aeolus aimed to provide in-home internet access to underserved and unserved families with school-age children who have had to transition to remote learning due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
