Mesa City Council staff has given its blessing on a proposal to purchase the 70-room Grand Hotel at 6733 E. Main Street near Power Road to house the city’s Off the Streets homeless intervention program.
It was the second presentation by staff this year on a prospective hotel purchase: In July, the city explored buying the Sleep Inn near Superstition Springs Mall but that proposal fell out due to language in the property’s title preventing its use as a shelter.
City staff said Main Street site does not have the same title restriction.
