FLINT, MI — Mayor Sheldon Neeley will deliver his third State of the City address — the first with a live audience — during a special meeting of the City Council on Tuesday, Dec. 13.
The city announced the address will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the Capitol Theatre, 1241 E. Kearsley St., in downtown Flint.
The event is open to the public. Spanish and American Sign Language interpretation will accompany Neeley’s remarks.
“I’m grateful for my first opportunity as mayor to present the State of the City address to Flint residents in person, following two virtual presentations during the pandemic,” Neeley said in a statement released by the city. “I’m excited to share highlights from the past three years, as well as the new direction our administration is engaging to move our community forward.”
In addition to attending the address, residents can also watch the State of the City on the City of Flint Facebook page and YouTube channel.
Neeley defeated former Mayor Karen Weaver to win a second term in the Nov. 8 election, collecting more than 52% of the votes cast.
He took the oath of office for his second term on Monday, Dec. 5, stressing the need to unify the city, improve customer service inside City Hall, and to step up efforts to better market Flint to outsiders.
