Mesquite Quality of Life Corporation reports about $16 million in revenue and lists capital projects
Summary
The Mesquite Quality of Life Corporation reported roughly $16 million in revenue for FY 2024–25 and described transportation, public safety and parks projects including Town East Boulevard, Scyene Road, Thomasson Square and upgrades to playgrounds and athletic facilities.
Ron Ward, chair of the Mesquite Quality of Life Corporation Board of Directors, presented the board’s FY 2024–25 annual report, saying the corporation received “approximately $16 million in revenue this year.” The report covered the period Oct. 1, 2024, through Sept. 30, 2025, and listed projects funded in transportation, public safety and parks and recreation.
Ward told the City Council the fiscal year’s projects include Town East Boulevard, Scyene Road and Thomasson Square roadway investments; Lawson Road Phase I; a downtown planning and traffic study; Public Safety Training Facility Phase I; P25 radio systems debt service; playground replacements at Paschall Park and Parkwood Park; Eastfield Athletic Complex improvements; and upgrades at City Lake Park and Evans Recreation Center. The board’s revenues are generated from the one‑half cent sales tax authorized by voter approval in 1999, which the council created the corporation to administer.
The presentation provided councilmembers with a project list and funding overview; Ward did not propose immediate council action during the meeting. Councilmembers did not ask for a formal vote on the report itself but received the annual update as part of the meeting’s presentations.
