As it takes its name from Falcon Field Airport, itâs not surprising that the Falcon District in northeast Mesa is dominated by aviation high fliers like Boeing, Northrop Grumman and HD Helicopters.
Now, a âground-and-poundâ heavyweight has joined the Falcon lineup â and leads a takeoff in jobs in the district.Â
Those who have become accustomed â if not addicted â to online shopping might be finding packages on their doorsteps even sooner, as Amazon has set up a âlast mileâ delivery hub in the Falcon District.
Though Amazon has thrown up huge warehouses in Chandler, Phoenix and Goodyear over the last few years, the global online sales powerhouse took its time setting up shop in Mesa â somewhat of a surprise, as this is not only the third-largest city in the state, but also the gateway to Queen Creek, Apache Junction and other fast-growing communities to the east.
