Salem Mayor Presents State Of The City Address
(SALEM, Ore.) — Salem Mayor Anna Peterson will give her annual State of the City Address at noon, Feb. 18, at the Salem Convention Center, 200 Commercial Street SE.
The mayor said her speech would highlight accomplishments of the past year, but its emphasis would be on an action plan for 2015.
"I want to talk about the communities' expectations of its government and how we, as a city, can meet those expectations," Peterson said.
Building community support for investing in a seismic upgrade of the Vern Miller Civic Center and developing a new public safety facility will be among the topics discussed in the mayor's speech, she said.
Peterson also will present a new award from the Mayor's International Council that recognizes the leadership of two Salem residents.
The West Salem High School Jazz Band will be performing.
No RSVP is necessary. A $15 lunch buffet is optional and begins at 11:30 a.m.
The State of the City Address is sponsored by the Salem Rotary, Salem Area Chamber of Commerce, Salem City Club and the city of Salem.
Since 1983, the speech has been an annual event.
