with the team if it wanted to work together to keep playing in the Valley.
"I think it's worth keeping in the Valley and continuing to nurture that sports franchise and youth sports systems that are a part of that," Giles said."I don't want to see them leave the Valley... One of the strategic locations in Mesa would be a good choice for them." “We look forward to working with the property owner on proposals to bring diverse uses to the Fiesta Mall site and long-term sustainable and vibrant economic activity to the Fiesta District.”
“I’m willing to help find taxpayer-friendly answer that makes sure the sees as a long-term home,” Galvin wrote.Councilmember Scott Somers, who represents southeast Mesa, told The Republic that he has not had any conversations about the potential interest from the Coyotes to move to Mesa and that it is too early to speculate where the Coyotes could land.
Both tools were part of the doomed Tempe deal, rejected by voters. Opponents derided the incentives as tax giveaways for billionaires.
