Development and growth in Mesa

by John Karadsheh March 5, 2011
written by John Karadsheh March 5, 2011

mesa airportThe Arizona Republic recently had an interesting article about the exciting growth at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.

Did you know Gateway currently is home to more than 40 private employers, including Allegiant Air, Aviation Performance Solutions, Cessna Aircraft Company, Embraer Aircraft, Hawker Beechcraft and HB Aerospace? Arizona State University Polytechnic and Chandler-Gilbert Community College also operate campuses on the airport property.

According to a new study conducted by the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University, the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport helped generate $685 million in economic benefits last year, and the airport supports more than 4,000 jobs in the region. Additionally, about 212,000 visitors arrived at the airport in 2010. Why does all of this matter?

I strongly believe the expansion of business and services at Gateway ultimately will help the values of properties in the Las Sendas, Red Mountain, Mountain Bridge and other Uplands communities in the East Valley. These East Valley communities have so much to offer, including natural scenic beauty, great schools, and wonderful amenities, as well as easy access to shopping and health care.

I also believe the strategic placement of these communities along the 202 freeway will keep them in demand. Homeowners in the Las Sendas, Red Mountain, Mountain Bridge and Uplands neighborhoods can access Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport or Gateway Airport easily within 20 minutes. How many neighborhoods can boast of such a geographic advantage?

With its great runways and prime location, Gateway will continue to grow and hopefully offer more commercial flights and great business opportunities. I can’t wait to see what happens!
