How's that "Vision Thing" Going?

Back on September 11, 2014 the City of Mesa announced appointments to the Downtown Vision Ad-Hoc Committee. The Vision Committee’s work is to be concluded within approximately six months [end of March 2015]

The Downtown Vision Committee was asked to:
  • Recommend a shared vision and broad goals to the Mesa Mayor and City Council that set a clear intention and direction for the long-term evolution of Downtown Mesa.
  • Collaborate with key downtown partners and agencies that will contribute to the implementation of the shared downtown vision.
  • Consider Downtown Mesa’s future opportunities, untapped urban growth sectors, barriers to success, and its existing and future market potential.
  • Review existing plans and strategies and how to build on, reaffirm and prioritize those outcomes.
The first meeting took place on September 30, 2014 @ 4:04 p.m. and was off to a fast start!
