Celebrating our Successes: Mayor’s Award for
Building a Better Mesa
The Mayor’s Award was established in 2010 to
recognize and celebrate the outstanding
contributions of Mesa residents and businesses to
help make Mesa an even better place to live, work,
shop and play.
During Mayor Smith’s campaign for
office, he coined the phrase, “Building a Better
Mesa.” The Mayor defined his six critical areas of
“Building a Better Mesa” as
- families can live in
safer, more active neighborhoods,
- future
generations can stay in the city and realize their
career goals,
- build pride in the community,
- lead in regional issues,
- re-establish trust in
city government, and
- encourage city-wide economic
development.
This vision is the foundation for the
Mayor’s Award.
The following award categories are
defined based on these critical areas:
- Public Safety
- Economic Development
- Community Pride
- Regional Leadership
- Civic Engagement
- Architecture, Design, Redevelopment and
Revitalization
- Special category - Outstanding Youth
