The Mesa City Council has approved the 2050 General Plan, allowing Mesa residents to vote on it during the November 2024 General Election.
This decision follows a series of public meetings held in each City Council District earlier this year, where residents had the opportunity to review and provide additional input on the roadmap for Mesa’s long-term growth, prosperity, and well-being.
The process began in late 2022 and included four surveys and approximately 100 public events and presentations. A citizen advisory committee guided the public outreach process, analyzed community input, and made recommendations to city staff.
The 2050 General Plan was created using public input from the Citizen Advisory Committee, information from existing plans, and strategic initiatives from the Mesa City Council. The plan includes a vision statement, core values, guiding principles, and strategies to guide decision-making for the next decade. It does not raise taxes or change existing property zoning.
Arizona mandates that the city's general plan is updated every ten years. The full plan can be viewed at tomorrowsmesa.com.
