Over the years, the City of Mesa implemented economic development strategies for every part of the city with a shared theme to create new high-paying jobs by attracting new companies to set up operations in Mesa and existing ones to expand, which will in turn spur housing and multifamily projects that will lead to more retail, hospitality and recreational demand.
City of Mesa Economic Development Director Bill Jabjiniak says, while the four corners of Mesa — Falcon District, Gateway Area, Fiesta District and the Riverview Area — and Downtown Mesa all have strategic economic development plans, each area’s strategies differ based on its respective strengths, demographics, amenities and needs.
