Mesa’s Mobile City Hall at Mekong Plaza
July 16, 2009 · Published By Admin
One of Mesa’s newest and busiest retail centers will host the City as it
takes government directly to its residents. The City of Mesa’s Mobile
City Hall will be held at Mekong Plaza, 66 S. Dobson, Saturday, July 25 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Several City departments, including Transportation, Neighborhood Services, Library and Parks, Recreation and Commercial Facilities, will have displays and information along the main corridor between Mekong Supermarket and the food court. Mesa Police and Mesa Fire will have displays in the front parking lot, including the SWAT Team armored truck, DUI command van, police motorcycles and fire engine.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for the City of Mesa to reach out to a
diverse community that shops at Mekong Plaza and provide information about the variety of services we offer,” Mesa City Manager Chris Brady said.
“They can pick up information on everything from light rail and state-of-the-art bus service to recycling to upcoming events at our City
museums and the Mesa Arts Center.” In addition to the City displays,
attendees will be able to participate in a raffle for several prizes,
including tickets from ASU, Arizona Diamondbacks, City museums and Mekong Plaza businesses.
Mobile City Hall is part of Family Fun Day at Mekong Plaza from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event includes free candy, popcorn, cotton candy, inflatable bouncers, balloons and pictures with Disney characters (bring your own camera). There will be tables with information about health awareness and the 2010 U.S. Census. Arizona 5th District Congressman Harry Mitchell’s office will also have a table. Mekong Plaza, which opened in October, 2008, is the Southwest’s largest indoor Asian community marketplace.
