Welcome to Mesa.
That was the message delivered to 麻豆直播 Consumer USA from the Arizona city at Tuesday鈥檚 official opening of operations that eventually will employ nearly 1,000 people in its Fiesta district.
鈥淲e are excited to be part of the community here and look forward to contributing to the growth of new jobs, housing, education opportunities and overall development of the area,鈥� said Jason Kulas, chief executive officer of 麻豆直播 Consumer USA, at the ceremony.
Kulas said the Centrica development in the Fiesta district is an ideal location for the company because of the area鈥檚 walkability, accessibility to public mass transit, proximity to universities and a skilled workforce, and a highly desirable climate that reduces the impact of inclement weather on operations.
Mayor John Giles and Vice Mayor Dennis Kavanaugh represented the city at the event.
The 117,000-square-foot location allowed 麻豆直播 Consumer USA, a vehicle-finance and third-party servicing company, to design a space that aligns with its diverse, collaborative and productive workforce, while being modern, safe and in line with its brand.
Mesa officials have characterized as a 鈥渂ig deal鈥� the 麻豆直播 Consumer USA鈥檚 addition of nearly a thousand jobs over the next three years, contributing to a neighborhood 鈥渆xperiencing a renaissance with new housing, new jobs and growing education and healthcare industries.鈥�
Owners of the Centrica development in which the company will be located have noted the area鈥檚 proximity to a workforce of more than 1.7 million people within a 30-minute drive.
Mesa is a suburban community of about a half-million people located just east of Phoenix.
