Just keeping the information closely-held from the public while only making registration available on the website for The Mesa Chamber of Commerce???? . . . and suggesting that people only "tune-in" rather than actively encouraging the public to participate in a discussion about what's important here in DTMesa?
WHAT'S NEXTMESA?????
Mayor John Giles @MayorGiles 20 hours ago
Tune in for a discussion w/world renowned Brookings Institution, to see how #Mesa is preparing downtown to be the location of choice for entrepreneurs and innovators.
It's no wonder that downtown Mesa has become "The Old Donut-Hole"
In 2005 a $100 Million Dollar-Investment in the Mesa Arts Center was supposed to transform DTMesa into an "Arts-and-Entertainment District"
. . . Did that happen?
In August 2015 Valley Metro Light Rail service was opened extending into the Central Business District here in historic DTMesa
. . . Did "The Salvation Train" that John Giles promised 2 years ago ever arrive??
. . . and now he brags after two years in elected office inside City Hall that
Mesa is preparing downtown to be the location of choice for entrepreneurs and innovators.
2 years ago Mesa joined Bloomberg Philanthropies WhatWorksCities . . .
How's that working here now?
What has the mayor delivered for results?
Now Giles says that are "experts" from The Brookings Institution scheduled to be here.
GOOD! We need all the help we can get
- Has the City of Mesa achieved its self-set goal to achieve 2,000 housing units downtown? NO. . . only about 500

QUESTION: Is John Giles playing a big enough role or just Jivin' all the time?
NOT from The Brightest Minds Inside Mesa City Hall
Your MesaZona blogger really hopes that Mesa Mayor John Giles gets his act together before this year's performance in the State-Of-The-City Speech on February 6, 2018.
He's had the all the opportunities to learn on-the-job getting invited to Harvard and Washington, D.C under the auspices of Mike Bloomberg... It's easy to get elected, hard to perform

iNNOVATION DISTRICT: Can It Accelerate Us To Re/Generate Mesa's "Old Donut-Hole"??
These districts by definition, are “geographic areas where leading-edge anchor institutions and companies cluster and connect with start-ups, business incubators, and accelerators. Compact, transit-accessible, and technically-wired, innovation districts foster open collaboration, grow talent, and offer mixed-used housing, office, and retail.”
Can you wrap your head around that or get through it?
