Just The Video from Local First Arizona For(u)m Mesa Bus Tour

Your MesaZona blogger had a seat at the back-of-the-bus right next to LFA's videographer . . . how all the more than two hours of tour time got compressed into about a minute is remarkable.

Following the success of our Camelback Light Rail Corridor bus tour, For(u)m shifts its attention eastward. Complementing Local First's work in small-business technical assistance for those affected by the Mesa light rail extension, this bus tour focuses on the current and prospective developments taking place as the light rail runs through downtown Mesa.

Along and around Main Street, after decades of mostly-dormancy, Mesa has begun to be awakened. Starting with the singular multicultural experience of Mekong Plaza and the new market-rate townhome development of Main Street Station, the light rail line has welcomed and enhanced affordable housing and mixed-use projects, dynamic new retail, restaurants, and breweries, and unique pop-up and adaptive reuse projects.

In partnership with the City of Mesa, Arizona Government and RAILmesa: Retail, Arts, Innovation & Livability, this tour shines a light on the temporary use, new retail and restaurants, affordable housing, creative space, and mixed-use developments that will shape the next wave of investment for this vital, historic corridor.
