How strongly independent, cited sources support this verdict.

The Mesa DES office located at 120 W 1st Ave is closed.

The office is a state-run facility that operates Monday through Friday, unlike local City of Mesa offices which are closed on Fridays.

  • The facility at 120 W 1st Ave is an Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) Multi-Service Center that remains active as of 2026.
  • State DES offices in Arizona typically operate on a standard Monday through Friday schedule, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
  • Confusion may arise because City of Mesa local government offices follow a four-day work week and are closed on Fridays, but State agencies like DES do not follow this local schedule.
