Mesa town house, retail project on track, an article from the East Valley Tribune, reports that work began last week on a dense residential, retail and office development near the future light-rail track in Mesa. Main Street West Village will be a mix of 55 town houses and 13 ground-floor shops. According to Holly Hosac, Mesa economic development spokeswoman, the project is aimed at commuters who plan to use light rail. Project developer Dan Randall said construction should start by the beginning of June. He said the rising cost of gasoline should make his homes more popular as people look for alternative modes of travel. "It'll be easy for somebody to live there and then walk down and get on the train and go to work," he added.
