By connecting our freeway system to the rest of the East Valley and by capitalizing
on our airports, Mesa is poised to become a vital economic force in Arizona.
Expanded passenger and cargo flights are beginning to branch out from our airports.
Allegiant Airlines announced plans to fly passengers to thirteen Cities from Mesa's
Airport. Major employers such as Cessna, Embraer, Timkin, Duke, CMC Steel, and Sabena
have recently relocated and expanded facilities around the airports. The average
wage for most of these employers is over $65,000 per year. Mesa has 39,000 residents
less than Atlanta, but the reputation of our community as the 38th largest City
in the United States is just beginning to reach outside of Arizona's borders.
