Mesquite City Council has outlined a comprehensive capital plan aimed at enhancing infrastructure and community facilities during its meeting on July 19, 2025. The council is prioritizing several key projects, with LaPrada Road identified as the top priority for immediate development, set to unfold in multiple phases. The design for Lawson Road is also underway, reflecting the complexity of the project, which has taken nearly two years to finalize.

In addition to roadway improvements, the council discussed the annual rehabilitation of the Town East area, which is crucial for maintaining the retail district ahead of the busy shopping season. Notably, the proposed enhancements at the Motley Town East intersection aim to improve accessibility and aesthetics, with discussions on potential landscaping enhancements to make the area more visually appealing.

The council is also addressing drainage needs with two proposed design projects, including the Ebright project, which is part of future improvements for Galloway Road. Furthermore, the Southeast Pump Station project is set to expand the sewer system capacity, reflecting the city's commitment to maintaining essential services.

Facility improvements are also on the agenda, with significant needs identified across various city buildings, including the Florence Recreation Center and the Art Center, both requiring urgent repairs. The council is considering a design for a new public safety facility to house a gun range, which is currently located in a floodplain.

The meeting highlighted the importance of community input, with council members acknowledging requests for a dog park and other recreational facilities. As the city moves forward with these projects, the council aims to secure funding through various sources, ensuring that Mesquite continues to develop and enhance its infrastructure for the benefit of its residents.
