在报告中，多项重点成果引人关注：包括治安持续改善，暴力犯罪率下降14%；过去一年吸引超过10亿美元投资并新增1500多个就业岗位；以Mesa Gateway Airport为核心的产业增长持续加速；以及前Fiesta Mall改造为Palo District项目，为西美莎带来全新发展动力。此外，美莎还通过与Arizona State University Polytechnic、Mesa Community College等教育机构合作，强化人才培养与就业对接，并在水资源与能源可持续发展方面积极布局，应对西南地区长期挑战。

作为长期支持美莎商会的华人企业代表，谭华参茸行负责人Rongchan Tan (Fanny)表示，此类活动不仅为企业提供了解城市政策与发展方向的重要窗口，也为不同族裔企业家之间搭建了交流与合作的平台。她多年来积极参与社区公益及商会活动，致力于推动华人企业走出族群圈层，融入主流社会，在公共事务中发声与贡献力量。

Fanny还鼓励更多华人企业家主动参与当地商会及社区建设，“只有走出来，参与进去，才能真正融入并获得更广阔的发展机会，也能让社会更了解华人企业的价值与贡献。”

谭华参茸行一直以来积极支持Mesa Chamber of Commerce各类活动，此次更组织华商共同参与，不仅加强了华人商业群体与本地主流社会的联系，也进一步提升了华商在区域经济发展中的影响力。

Tan Hua Inc. Attends Mesa Mayor’s Breakfast, Engages with Local Community

On April 23, 2026, the “2026 State of the City” Mayor’s Breakfast, hosted by the Mesa Chamber of Commerce, was held in Mesa. The event took place from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and brought together nearly 1,000 chamber members, business leaders, and community representatives to hear updates on the city’s development and future plans.

Tan Hua Inc. actively participated in the event and attended with a group of Chinese business representatives, including Zhitao Tan (Tan Hua Inc.), Stephen Fong (Warner Angle Jackson Hallam Formanek), Zongfu Li (Dr. Win Really), Changhai Huang (Shaanxi Garden), and Grace Lockett (World Outstanding Women League). Their participation highlighted the Chinese business community’s positive engagement in mainstream society and local public affairs.

Mesa Mayor Mark Freeman delivered the 2026 State of the City address, outlining a clear vision centered on four key principles: “Built on Tradition,” “Built for Opportunity,” “Built Together,” and “Built to Last.” He highlighted the city’s progress and long term strategy across economic growth, community development, and sustainable planning.

Mayor Freeman emphasized that Mesa continues to show strong and stable growth, with efficient financial management, thoughtful urban planning, and high quality public services. “The state of our city is strong, and we’re not standing still,” he said. “We’ve built a foundation based on trust, accountability, and responsible growth, and we’re using that foundation to create real opportunities for our residents and businesses.”

Key highlights from the report included improved public safety, with violent crime down by 14%; over $1 billion in new investment and more than 1,500 new jobs created in the past year; continued growth driven by industries around Mesa Gateway Airport; and the transformation of the former Fiesta Mall site into the Palo District, bringing new energy and development to West Mesa. The city is also strengthening workforce development through partnerships with institutions such as Arizona State University Polytechnic and Mesa Community College, while making strategic investments in water and energy sustainability to address long-term challenges in the Southwest.

Fanny, the owner of Tan Hua Inc., said events like this provide valuable opportunities for businesses to better understand city policies and future directions, while also creating a platform for communication and collaboration across different communities. She has long been active in community service and chamber events, working to encourage Chinese owned businesses to step beyond their own circles and become more involved in the broader community.

She also encouraged more Chinese entrepreneurs to take part in local chambers and public initiatives. “By getting involved, we can truly integrate into the community, find greater opportunities for growth, and help others better understand the value and contributions of Chinese businesses,” she said.

Tan Hua Inc. has consistently supported activities organized by the Mesa Chamber of Commerce. This time, by bringing together a group of Chinese business owners, the company helped strengthen connections between the Chinese business community and the broader local community, further enhancing their role and influence in the region’s economic development.
