Come film in my town! What do you need

Hello All,
Not sure where to post this so I will start here. I live in Yuma, Arizona. Sunny all year. Winters are perfect. Summer it's HOT! Yuma has a long history with Hollywood. From the 20's-50's tons of movies were shot here for desert location stuff. The sand dunes for Star Wars IV and Return of the Jedi were here. As the years have gone by the filming has sloooowed down. The last major filming here was the movie Jar Head.
I would like to make Yuma a better destination for filmmakers, small budgets on up. What would encourage you to shoot in a certain location? We have deserts... but a number of places do. Is cheap help and tax breaks what you need? More resources once your here? i.e. soundstage and location areas? Close to L.A., 4 hours by car. Phoenix or San Diego only 180 miles away. 10 miles from Mexico. I know each script is different and needs different things but we would like to put our best foot forward as a resource for film makers. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Also, if you were looking for desert locations or western type prison sets, etc. How would you look for it? The internet, maybe a magazine ad? Where would be good places to get this info out to so that you can find it easily?
Thanks,
Brett
