Is Mesa's population on the decline?
Recently the city was ranked as the 39th largest city in the United States. That is a drop of one position as they were ranked 38th. Mesa grew by 3,300 people from 2008 - 2009, which is the smallest increase in many years. Once the 2010 numbers are available toward the middle of next year the city will have a better handle on whether their population base is indeed shrinking or going flat.
The city is littered with vacant commercial and residential buildings. Schools have seen a big drop in enrollment. And even trash collections have been reduced by 12%.

After witnessing how Tempe has completely rejuvinated the Tempe Town Lake area, Mesa has its eyes set on revitalizing downtown Mesa.
City leaders are planning several big events for 2010, including a spring break festival in March, July 4th celebration and an Old West Days in November. A fourth event may include classic cars.
Downtown Mesa once was a destination place as past events used to draw thousands, such as Mesa Fine Folk Festival that drew upwards of 125,000 people and a Christmas event that was hugely popular.
As the valley grew other cities began competing more successfully and the events were also subject to budget restraints.
Here is hoping Mesa is successful. It would likely boost tourism to the state once these events became more solidified and well known. Mesa already has a leg up when MLB spring training comes around each spring.
I have lived in Mesa for about 25 years or so. Somehow when I moved to Arizona the Mesa area ended up being home for me. It has always seemed like a small town, though the boundaries and borders of our various valley towns overlap these days.
When I moved here the I60 ended at Power Road. You could get off at Power Road and go north to Apache and continue east if you wanted to visit the Superstition Mountains. Now, the traffic is much more substantial, but at least the freeway now extends the entire drive.
