Cleveland Mayor Bibb Sets Date For 1st State Of The City Address

CLEVELAND — Mayor Justin Bibb will commemorate his first 100 days in office by delivering his first State of the City address on April 13.

The event is organized by the City Club of Cleveland and will begin at 7 p.m. in Silver Hall at the Maltz Performing Arts Center on the campus of Case Western Reserve University. The event is free to all attendees. Free parking and free public transportation to the event have been organized for those interested in hearing the address.

Bibb is expected to touch on his early accomplishments, the progress of his economic plan and his overall vision for Cleveland. The mayor will also take questions from Cleveland residents, though all inquiries must be submitted in advance.

“I’m looking forward to celebrating my first 100 days in office with the residents of Cleveland as we reflect on this moment of transition and transformation in our city," Bibb said in a statement.

For those unable to attend the State of the City address in-person, the event will be livestreamed on the City Club's website and will be on a broadcast delay from Ideastream Public Media.

"Civic participation and dialogue is what makes democracy work and I can’t wait to engage with residents from every ward on this special evening. Thank you to The City Club of Cleveland for presenting the State of the City address on the grounds of my alma mater,” Bibb said.
