WIA was formed when a group of Costa Mesa citizens realized that the City's Specific Plan for the Westside did not meet the needs of the people who live and own property on the Westside. We believe it is the responsibility of all of us to inform our city government what property owners, residents and business owners want and need to make the Westside a better place to live, work , and play.
The Westside is a great location. Wonderful ocean breezes, and close proximity to just about every sort of business we could want, ought to make Westside Costa Mesa a sought-after destination and prime location. Unfortunately, Costa Mesa, and in particular the Westside, has been overlooked for so long, that we who live here have gotten used to the blight and to being the ugly stepsister of our neighboring cities of Newport Beach and Huntington Beach. Our goal, with your help, is to improve our community's quality of life and property values, and to make the Westside of Costa Mesa what it should be: a jewel of coastal Orange County.
