Queen Creek Mayor Julia Wheatley has been elected chairwoman of the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport Authority (PMGAA) for Fiscal Year 2025.
Each year, the PMGAA board elects a slate of officers from the six-member community board representatives. Gila River Indian Community Lt. Gov. Regina Antone will serve as vice chair, Mesa Mayor John Giles will serve as secretary, and Gilbert Mayor Brigette Peterson will serve as treasurer.
“Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is the economic center of the Southeast Valley, and a $1.8 billion per year economic engine for the State of Arizona,” said Wheatley. “It’s an honor to serve as chair of the PMGAA Board of Directors this year as we work together to improve commercial air service and attract additional private development projects to Gateway Airport.”
“Chairwoman Wheatley and the other members of the PMGAA Board of Directors provide leadership, a unified vision and support that guides the continued development and improvement of Gateway Airport. PMGAA staff looks forward to working with Chairwoman Wheatley and the PMGAA board on exciting projects, including Gulfstream, Virgin Galactic, Gateway East and SkyBridge Arizona,” added J. Brian O’Neill, A.A.E., PMGAA executive director/CEO.
