It’s one “L” of a redevelopment area, and Mesa sees it as an extension of the central business district to Southern Avenue.
The city is seeking public opinion on a proposal to create a redevelopment area (RDA) in a general configuration from south of downtown on each side of Country Club Drive to Southern Avenue, and then west to the city limits.
“A redevelopment area gives the city and property owners an impetus to revitalize the area,” said Bill Jabjiniak, economic development director for Mesa. “Forming the RDA will help the city and property owners increase employment opportunities in the area.”
