One of the City of Dublin’s top priorities is community engagement. It’s our commitment to keep our residents and corporate community engaged in everything happening around Dublin.
The State of the City address is one of the ways in which we do that. It’s our chance to report back to you about the successes and challenges of the previous year, while looking ahead to progress to come in 2016.
This year’s State of the City will take place Thursday, March 3, at the Wendy’s Company Thomas Conference Center, 1 Dave Thomas Blvd., in Dublin. As in years past, we will host a community reception from 6-7 p.m., with the presentation commencing at 7 p.m.
At this year’s presentation, we’ll be releasing the results of the triennial Community Attitudes Survey. Conducted in January, the survey is designed to gauge residents’ perceptions of local government. The City uses the data in guiding policy decisions to enhance and continue high-quality service delivery.
Not only does the survey allow residents to rate Dublin as a place to live, work and retire, but the information also serves as a barometer for City Council in planning and setting priorities for Dublin.
Sharing information such as this through the State of the City presentation provides a great opportunity to engage your elected officials and the staff leadership team, and to learn more about our priority projects. We look forward to seeing you in attendance.
Speaking of our leadership team, I hope that you will find the story on page 14 valuable in meeting the people who are helping to implement policy set forth by City Council and shaping the future of Dublin. I’m immensely proud of this team, which helps me to carry out Dublin’s highly rated services, programs and projects on a daily basis.
