As the new year starts, Mesa is kicking off the process of updating its General Plan, a process it must undergo every 10 years.
The plan sets out a vision for development in the city and is a year-long effort involving surveys, discussions and meetings with the public and various stakeholders.
Mesa’s long-range planning staff started this year’s General Plan process at a meeting of Mesa’s Economic Development Advisory Board on Jan. 3, and business leaders hit the ground running with some pointed suggestions about how to improve and implement it.
