PHOENIX — The city of Mesa is planning the construction of a new library near Ray and Ellsworth roads in Eastmark, near the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.
The Southeast Mesa Library will provide services to residents with similar amenities as the Main, Red Mountain and Dobson Ranch libraries, according to a press release.
The project is expected to be completed by the summer of 2024 and will cost approximately $16.8 million. It is funded by a General Obligation Bond approved by Mesa voters in 2018, according to the release.
The city is hosting an online public meeting with residents to discuss the library and take questions.
