  1. I strongly believe this is exactly what this dry desert needs. Some water. and with WAVEYARD things are finally going to start heating up!! We shall see increased tourism by 100% and revenue that Waveyard will bring will also be astronomical.

  2. Here we go again, tax payers funding big business, do your research Mesa residents!
    Why should we pay for hotels, residential office space, conference center, wavepark and timeshares?
    According to Mr. Mladick (Co-Founder of Waveyard) “Over 70% of people who surf make 50,000 + a year, the highest income per capita of any sport”
    (City of Mesa Meeting on 12.5.06)
    And what happens to the park that is currently there?
    Why do Mesa residents keep giving their hard earned money to developers? They are working with the largest bank in Australia and have went public on the London Stock exchange? (Sounds like the USA ought to be involved in OUR country)
    They also have a billion dollars in a fund that was raised in conjunction with the public offering???
    Want to support something in your back yard?
    Think…….Childcare, group homes, parks, schools, medical care….
    We are a desert, take it to the beach!

  3. I agree with you Manny, but Sam has some valid points. You can’t have it all. Any large amusement/entertainment developement is in the long-run, good for the area. Somehow we need to balance the pro’s and con’s, and make it good for the community as a whole.
