My My how bright we are. Let me see a huge convention center right next to the largest runways the state has to offer until Luke AFB moves out. Cessna, and other aircraft facilities moving in.
When the Resort comes so will the shopping etc. Besides I have learned that when the people with the uplifted pinkies come in there goes the neighborhood, go to a club in Snottsdale and you don’t know who will approach you in the john. Is it a man or a mouse and the women don’t appreciate a stand up urinal in the ladies room for those who can’t decide.
Growth is finally coming to the East Valley and appreciate it for there are the future jobs. Contrary to what others might write or think they are not all low wage jobs.
They will need sound technicians, electricians, AC engineers, and other high paying trades on staff at all times with a resort/convention center that large.

You know why they won’t build a Gaylord Converntion center in Page? Because there is no reason to. Same goes for Mesa.

Anybody know if Gaylord is a publicly traded company?

Gaylord cites “excessive off-site infrastructure costs” as one reason for changing its mind about locating in Chula Vista. What’s “excessive”? Here, Mesa taxpayers are picking up the tab on that one.

Beware of Steve. He’s a wholesale dealer of snake oil and his warehouse is well stocked.

Since when did Mesa become a tourist place where “HIGH DOLLAR” folks come to? In fact, when does anyone come to visit Mesa? Been here for over 25 yrs….keep moving farther from central city area….BUT the “trash’ keeps moving too. Mesa has lost it…..

Gateway may have a chance…..BUT…..They need high end shopping…restaurants…. a lavish Casino like Las Vegas…..then maybe a Lush Resort……

Mesa does not have any future thinkers…….just the same old same things….

If the first two comments are all the opponents can muster this thing will pass 80-20.

Gaylord cited the California problems pertaining to “prolonged planning and approval processes, a complicated regulatory and legal structure, and excessive off-site infrastructure costs.”

That shouldn’t be a problem in Mesa.

(1) Mesa is largely unplanned. And it shows.

(2) Mesa is likewise unregulated and illegal.

(3) Mesa has no infrastructure to speak of.
