Amazon.com Inc. looks to be getting closer to starting construction on two separate data center projects in southeast Mesa.

The company filed requests on Jan. 8 to the city of Mesa’s planning and zoning board asking for site plans to be approved as well as for special use permits for height and parking reduction for the two projects – going by the names PHX062 and PHX65.
