Mesa City Council voted last week to join an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) to fund a full-time “ambassador” for the Rio Reimagined Salt River restoration initiative.
Leaders hope the move could speed up progress on regional effort reinvigorated by the late Senator John McCain in the last year of his life before he passed in 2018.
Rio Reimagined is the current name of a decades-old vision to restore some surface water and riparian habitats along the Salt River where it runs through the Valley.
