The Planet Disrupts here in THE NEW VALLEY OF THE SUN
Temple Area First to Break New Ground in The Mormon Make-Over of Downtown Mesa
Out of all those hyped-up and highly-publicized unsolicited proposals with pretty pictures from private real estate developers, and fast-tracked developer agreements with city officials (with a lot of incentive$) presented for years and months by Jeff McVay, the Director of Downtown Transformation, only one redevelopment plan that was the last to announce in June 2018 made from headquarters of the LDS Church in Salt Lake City is the first to break ground. 
What is this project first announced from the Mormon stronghold in Salt Lake City, Utah by the for-profit City Creek Reserve Inc., an investment affiliate of the LDS Church that previously developed City Creek, a 23-acre urban community of residences, offices, and retail stores in downtown Salt Lake City, with a 4.6 acre version designed in an effort to protect and revitalize the area surrounding the Mesa Arizona Temple at the SEC of Main Street and Mesa Drive. . . How does this plan imported from Utah fit into any context complementary to Mesa’s cultural past? A new ventricle in the heart of downtown Mesa?
This project could be home to more than 500 new downtown residents and is slated to begin this fall with completion in late 2020 or early 2021.
That might suck the life-blood out of other plans to commercialize ten other properties for rampant real estate speculation between Country Club Drive and Center Street here in the downtown historic district now classified as an Opportunity Zone.

According to the article below contributed by Mesa resident Jill Adair, a new 18,000-square-foot visitors’ and family history discovery center will be built on the corner of Main Street and LeSueur as part of the project
February was a big month for development.
> Although no physical buildings were constructed, 100,000 square feet of property was purchased by developers Caliber: The Wealth Development Company and Habitat Metro. Caliber’s $7.625 million purchase comprises of eight buildings along Main Street, between Country Club Drive and Center Street. Each building purchased by the developer is historic, being built between 1910 and 1954. The company plans to fill the space with a mix of entertainment venues, office space and restaurants
> A lease agreement was accepted with developer 3W Management, and ASU’s downtown Mesa expansion was approved by the Mesa city council on a 5-2 vote.
During his State of the City address in February, Mesa Mayor John Giles revealed a lease agreement signed with developer 3W Management to construct a seven-story, $60 million mixed-use development at 233 E. Main St, which is currently a 3.3-acre parking structure. The Grid boasts ground floor restaurants and retail, as well as four levels of residential units, which will include 75 micro-units measuring 450 square feet, 15 rowhomes, each 3 levels, and 196 sky apartments.
The Grid was anticipated to break ground in August, and the north building, with the retail, office and micro units, is set to open in 2019.
> Mesa City Council also approved a memorandum of understanding with Habitat Metro, the developer working alongside Caliber, for a mixed-use structure to be built at the current location of the city-owned Pepper Place Parking Lot, near the southeast corner of West Pepper Place and North Robson. The lot currently hosts 76 parking spaces.
Tim Sprague, principal of Habitat Metro, presented the proposal at a City Council study session on Feb. 15. The building would consist of between 70 and 100 luxury apartments, each unit measuring between 500 and 1,250 square feet, as well as 5,000 square feet of retail space at the ground level_________________________________________________________________________

Today's Mesa City Council Study Session: Site 17
The city demolished 60 homes on Site 17 in another one of those eminent domain fiascos like the empty ground on the NWC of Country Club/Main Street.
Apparently the long neglect and distress downtown might now be under reconsideration in The Ozone.

News Conference: Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage in the U.S., 2017
Published on Sep 12, 2018
Running time: 52:19
Full news conference from the Census Bureau's studio on 9/12/18. Includes presentations on income, poverty, health insurance and the Supplemental Poverty Measure for 2017.
The headline was that 39.7 million people were poor in 2017.
This works out to 12.3 percent of the population or 1 in 8 Americans. The good news is that the U.S. poverty rate has fallen since 2010, when it hit 15.1 percent, and is now where it was before the Great Recession. NOT HERE IN MESA

Surge in The President & The Porn Star Scandals > Another Storm To Watch This Week
Daniels and Avenatti are scheduled to appear on The View on Wednesday, and last week they said they had a “big announcement.” Daniels had also teased that she isn’t done causing trouble for the president.Stormy Daniels and Michael Avenatti still want a deposition from Trump.

Trump Concedes Stormy Daniels Hush Agreement Wasn’t Valid in Effort to End Lawsuit
"Last month, Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to violating campaign finance laws involving the hush payment to Stormy Daniels, among other felonies. Trump’s former fixer said President Trump himself had directed him to commit the crime in the lead-up to the 2016 election, which worsened Trump’s legal troubles in a variety of ways. Over the weekend, Trump’s legal team tried to resolve at least one of those matters by releasing Daniels from what has already proven to be a wildly unsuccessful non-disclosure agreement.
On Friday, a lawyer for Essential Consultants, the company Cohen set up to pay Daniels, sought to void the agreement in a legal filing, and to recoup the $130,000 payment. (Trump reimbursed Cohen for the $130,000, and it’s unclear who would get the money if Daniels returned it.)
> Trump’s legal team had initially tried to force Daniels into an arbitration that could have required her to pay the president more than $20 million for breaking her silence over their alleged 2006 affair, which Trump has denied. Daniels sued Trump in an effort to void her NDA, arguing that the agreement was invalid because Trump never signed it, or possibly because its purpose was illegal.
> Daniels’s attorney Michael Avenatti said they would move forward with efforts to make Trump give a deposition in the case. Daniels is also suing Trump for defamation for suggesting she was lying about being threatened to keep quiet about the affair.
