Al Litman is Mayor of\u00a0 Mesquite.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Well, Mesquite is starting back on the road to normality. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m wrong. As I write this article today, the mask issue is still confusing, but by the time you read this it should be pretty much gone. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mesquite residents have done an excellent job in getting their vaccinations and our COVID-19 count is at it\u2019s lowest point in a year.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One of the things that lead me to believe we are well on the way to recovery is the number of jobs that are available in Mesquite. We have a Job Fair at our visitor\u2019s center on June 11 from 8 a.m.- noon that should be a success.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mesquite has a number of projects in the works that will bring even more demand for employees in the coming year.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One very interesting project is the Bark Canine Club that is a very special place for your pet. I\u2019ve been told it will be Mesquite\u2019s version of a luxury resort for dogs.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Right know they are located in the Brickyard Shopping Center while the resort is being built in our Industrial Park. It will be on a 14- acre site and should have a number of great job openings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Recently I have been told that Chipolte will be building in Mesquite over by the new Panda Express and the MacDonald\u2019s.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, if you love coffee, we are getting a Binny Bean Espresso over on Sandhill Boulevard in the near future.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With all the new construction, we need affordable workforce housing. I recently signed the paperwork for affordable housing to be built over on Hafen Lane, close to the Veterans\u2019 Center.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These apartments are badly needed in Mesquite and hopefully many more will be built. Mesquite is in the same boat as many communities in our country right now.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Affordable housing is a must if we are to thrive as a city. With lumber<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

and other building materials at an all-time high this will be a difficult task, but we can do it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll have more details on this and many others projects in the very near future.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And speaking of what\u2019s going on in Mesquite, I\u2019m exploring doing a monthly video with guests and questions and answers to better keep our residents up to date with a range of topics.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There will be no cost to our taxpayers and nothing political in any way. Just updates on local government, business, and events.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
