Mesa's economic development director is retiring after 16 years

Mesa has grown exponentially in the last few decades. And now, one of the people who has been central to that city’s growth and development is retiring.

Bill Jabjiniak has been Mesa’s economic development director for 16 years. 

And, as he’s stepping down, he’s leaving behind him a legacy of industry and education. The Show spoke with him more about his work in Mesa as it’s changed over the years and what it was like when he first arrived in the city.
