Economic Development Strategic Plan
The City of Mesquite is in the final stages of it's first ever Economic Development Strategic Plan. The City engaged Resonance Consultancy to aide the City and it's stakeholders in the process. A business owner/manager, as well as a resident survey, was launched in April of 2022. In May, there were around ten roundtable discussions with targeted groups (workforce partners, for example) to solicit feedback. Later in the month, there was a Visioning Workshop in which businesses and residents were encouraged to participate.
