Eagle Management Opens Phoenix Operations. The Super Bowl isn’t the only big news “touching down” in Phoenix. Eagle has decided to expand their home team advantage by opening a base city of operation in Phoenix, AZ.
Eagle is excited to announce both the opening of Phoenix and to introduce you to their newest city manager, Anthony “Tony” Crise. Strategically this enables Eagle to round out their service offerings in the Southwest and enhance the depth of their national labor crew.
And just maybe to root on their namesake NFL team to victory on February 12.
