Economic Vitality

I want Mesa County to have a variety of industries that promote a healthy and sustainable economy.

Three main factors have been identified to help Mesa County to have a vital, sustainable economy. These factors are vital to retaining existing businesses in the county, as well as recruiting new and diverse businesses:

• Commercial and Natural Infrastructure
• Workforce Development
• Positive Business Climate
