Good morning, Mesa.

Mesa’s Office of Economic Development released its FY 2024-25 report showing 3,370 jobs were created at an average salary above $65,000 plus 47 company projects that involved over five million square feet of relocation and expansion.

City officials said the report demonstrates a strong focus on attracting high-wage employers and building a resilient local economy.

Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Dewain Fox ruled on Aug.

13 that Arizona lawmakers did not adequately fund public schools—Mesa Public Schools now face a gap in resources for equipment and repair—Superintendent Matthew Strom said the decision makes sense.

Mesa resident Ingrid Mosquera came from Columbia on a full-ride volleyball scholarship and now works as a Spanish/English teacher and student mentor—she also collaborates with The First One Consulting to empower first-generation women as they prepare for and pursue college.

Mesa resident Catherine Dyciewski was named chief financial officer at UMOM New Day Centers with her appointment starting September 2—she brings over 20 years of financial leadership.
