A great deal of construction has gone on all over Mesa in the last few years but nowhere has it been more heavily focused than downtown.
Main Street has been torn up, right down the middle, in anticipation of the coming light rail project for months now, and will be for another year, at least.
In light of all of the activity, commotion, and general disruption in the area, one might expect to see an economic slump, but even though there’s no denying some establishments have gone out of business, other local, small businesses report that everything seems to be going just fine.
