Carson City Mayor Crowell to present State of the City address Monday

What a difference a year makes. Carson City has come a long way and has made many changes during 2016, but still has miles to go. Mayor Robert Crowell will present his annual State of the City address, free and open to the public, Monday evening Jan. 30, 6 p.m. at the Carson City Community Center Bob Boldrick Theater.

The address, “Carson City – A Community Working Together,” will cover the “many interactions and cooperation between our public and private institutions and organizations,” writes Mayor Crowell.

He further states, “I will also be talking about the Carson economy and growth as well as City finances.”

As Carson City continues to grow along with the region, Mayor Crowell’s goal is to “maintain our quality of life, accommodate our new demographics and create a sustainable economy.”

In the past, the mayor has addressed the Carson City Chamber of Commerce businesses at their January luncheon; however, due to attendance limitations, the popular event has been moved this year to the Bob Boldrick Theater to better accommodate the entire community. The Chamber continues to coordinate the event.

The Carson City Community Center is at 850 East William Street. For those not able to attend, the event will be televised live on the city’s public access channel http://www.carsontv.org/a-tv-channels/gov-channel/and live over the internet at www.carson.org.

Mayor Crowell is the Carson’s sixth mayor since the city and Ormsby County consolidated in 1969. He is currently beginning his third and final term.

— Ronni Hannaman is the Executive Director of the Carson City Chamber of Commerce.
