Dearborn State of the City Announced for March 5

The 2012 State of the City address will take place March 5, the city of Dearborn confirmed Friday.

The public is invited 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.

According to the City of Dearborn newsletter, "Mayor O’Reilly will review the economic challenges facing Dearborn, the city’s recent accomplishments and initiatives to keep the community moving forward."

Last year's city-wide address by O'Reilly focused on growth initiatives–such as the Intermodal Train Station and University of Michigan-Dearborn student housing–as well as the $20 million budget deficit facing the city, and how to fix it.

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 posted on Dearborn Patch the evening of the event.
