Sustainability is not just about electric cars, solar panels and recycling. In Mesa, sustainability encompasses a vast range of concerns, extending from education to economic development and public health.
City of Mesa Development Services Director Christine Zielonka addressed the subject as part of a four-person expert panel at the SRP 2017 Forum, which focused on sustainability and development in the East Valley. Salt River Project hosted the event along with the East Valley Partnership.
The panel also included Steve Betts, senior advisor to the Holualoa Companies and Hines Development; Marc Campbell, manager, Sustainability Policy and Programs at Salt River Project; and Steve Sossaman of Sossaman Farms.
