Dearborn State of the City Address Set for Feb. 27

The 2013 Dearborn State of the City address will take place Feb. 27, the City of Dearborn confirmed Tuesday.

Members of the public are welcome to attend the address by Mayor Jack O'Reilly, which will start at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at Dearborn City Hall. However, seating is limited and is not guaranteed.

Mayor O'Reilly is expected to recount accomplishments of the city over the past year, as well as give an update on city finances and upcoming initiatives.

During last year's State of the City address, O'Reilly stressed government transparency, specifically highlighting the city's Performance Dashboard, which he explained is "a meaningful tool to measure our efforts and assess how we are doing as an organization."

For those who cannot attend, the address will be shown at a later time on CDTV and will also be posted on the City of Dearborn's website.

Full coverage of the address will also be available on Dearborn Patch the evening of the event.
