PHOENIX -- Two developers have picked Mesa as the site of a planned $250 million resort and water park.

Waveyard developers Jerry Hug and Richard Mladick said they chose Mesa over Surprise because of its freeway and airport access, family friendly reputation and public support.

However, the development hinges on a November referendum that the developers said they requested to make sure residents are on board with the deal.

The land for the wave park currently is occupied by a golf course.

Scottsdale-based Waveyard Development LLC announced last summer that it wanted to build a $250 million hotel and water park featuring surfing, whitewater rafting, snorkeling and other sports activities.
