Wednesday, the EV Tribune featured front page was a joyful sight - a celebration that provided support from voters to move forward with Waveyard; a resort and adventure park sure to put Mesa on the “map”.
In the background are Mesa familiar faces Rex Griswold, Mayoral candidate and Bryan Jeffries, President United Mesa Firefighters Association, who supported the development - now realizing the victory are all smiles.
A great day for west Mesa and the city. Living in east Mesa, I’m seeing many areas developed and business continues to grow, especially along US 60. At Signal Butte just south of the freeway a huge shopping area with restaurants, IMAX theater, fitness center, a variety of shopping is filling in on both sides of Signal Butte.
The same business growth also at Greenfield just south of US60. A Banner Gateway Hospital at Higley just south of the freeway is coming along, a shopping center just beyond it. Also, the hospital at Crismon, just north of the freeway - making great progress, and other medical facilities, offices, and apartments throughout the area, plus others not yet identified at Sossaman.
Making sure developers pay required impact fees necessary to develop the infrastructure around them is an essential part of being accountable and resourceful - ensuring the provision of funds in order to keep up with the progress we are enjoying.
