Lowe's coming to West Mesa

Well, I am shocked. It looks like there is going to be a Lowe's in West Mesa without a big stink or a public hullabaloo. From the sound of the neighbors, we may not even have to vote in an election to allow the store to be built.

I respect the neighbors and their efforts to keep their neighborhoods safe. However, the site seems like a fairly decent place to build especially since there is a Costco, a Home Depot, and a bunch of car dealers already in the area.

This is such a new thing for Mesa. A big box being built without an election. Its a fairly prudent move on the council's part because it certainly could have had a negative impact on the upcoming Bond election.
