This is HUGE for our area. Phoenix is alive and well!! For those considering a trip to or from the Phoenix Valley, be sure to stop by Phoenix Mesa Gateway for flight information.

so true Teri. I believe this will be one of the best growth areas in the valley over the next 5 years. Lot's of stuff going on around there!
Nick, we're growing, that's for sure. I've got to make this photo larger, don't you think? ;-)
Teri when I think of the airport I think of vacations! Actually when I think about all the great weather you have out in Arizona I get really jealous :)
The photo could be a little bigger. For those of us that know the area, it is possible to make it out; for people looking at this without knowing the area, it would be hard to understand. Great map and info though! You do a great job promoting the east valley! Love your blog.. Happy Easter!
Bill, anyone from Massachusetts is definitely welcome to visit our fabulous state. On days like this - 84 degrees and a slight breeze - who wouldn't want to come and visit! ;-)
Nick, I tried.......to make it larger. You're right though. It makes a huge difference to someone who knows our fair valley. Happy Easter to you as well. ;-)
I didn't even know the area had more than one airport. I'm going to have to get down there one of these days!
Marlene, come and enjoy our warm - dry weather ;-)
In defense of Teri... if she made the picture as big as the actual airport... well... there wouldn't be enough roooooo......
Wait. I see I read this wrong. :-)
Now... in all seriousness, this airport is great for the valley. With the growth in the southeast valley it's nice to have an alternative. Thank you, Air Force- for building something that would cost a fortune if we had to build it today.
Side note: my sister was in the last graduating class of Williams Air Force Base Pilot training. So- this place has special memories for my family.
Chuck, very funny. lol........;-)
Isn't it amazing that converting an old air force base into another airport is working so well? It has really become a popular spot to fly in and out of.......I like the idea myself.
Very cool about your sister graduating there. I'll bet it has special memories. I didn't know you'd been in the valley that long???
Yes... I've been in the valley since 1982. We were an Air Force family and this was my father's final stop. It also ended up being the final destination for almost everyone else in the family- even those who had been living elsewhere. This airport is going to bring great opportunities to everyone who lives in the southeast valley- I'm loving the impact it's having... it's great to see what can happen when the government and business can work together on a common goal.
Chuck, good to know more about you. How cool that this airport was your dad's final destination....you were probably all over the place with your dad being in the Air Force, huh?
Here's the short list: California (thrice), Texas (twice), Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Illinois, Arizona. Then there were the even shorter stays and traveling to and from, I wouldn't trade the experience- I've had the chance to meet a lot of great people and see a lot of great places but Arizona is definitely home.
Teri, I will be passing this on to two agents that have clients wanting horse property close to the airport. Gold Canyon + Airport = SALES!
Thank you for providing this info. This will be helpful to so many agents in the east valley.
Mark, sounds wonderful. Lots of horse property close by!! Lots of land and wide open spaces in Queen Creek.....
Someday I'd like to come to Arizona...and utilize the new airport!! :)
Thank you so much for this information I am in the Gilbert/Queen Creek market and sometimes forget about this amazing new offering.
Karen, I think you might like it here!! It is a beautiful state. ;-)
Kristen, you're welcome. I don't keep up on everything, but I try and keep track of the highlights. Many aren't aware of our other option for an airport. ;-)
Teri, isn't it amazing how the area has changed. I think once the airport gets going and the development takes off, (no pun intended) the area will really 'boom'. Also, it will help to have a large employment center closer to where people live.
Doreen, absolutely! I know that much is planned for the Superstition Vista area east of Meridian, and they want the job market to be closer in. Great resource to have another major airport in one of the largest cities in the U.S. ;-)
