Future of Gateway Airport

Mesa, Phoenix, Queen Creek, Gilbert and the Gila River Indian Community met to discuss the infrastructure needs of Gateway Airport. They also have made passenger service their highest priority over their current push for cargo service.

While the airport may not be self sufficient as of yet, its important that the cities continue their support of the ongoing development. However, it does make you wonder why neither Chandler nor any city in Pinal County is involved.

It will be interesting to see how these different moving parts come together over the next few months. I have heard many people talk about how this area is the future of Mesa and a real opportunity to make something different. It truly is one of the last great opportunities for economic, residential, and commercial development in our fair city. Let's hope that we are able to get it right.
