Mayor Wade Troxell, City Council and City Manager Darin Atteberry will host the annual State of the City from 6-8 p.m. Jan. 29 at The Lyric, 1209 N. College Ave.
Residents, businesses and City staff will be featured in a short film that illustrates the community collaboration and vision that has contributed to 2018 accomplishments and helped address shared challenges. The video will be followed by a live Q&A with Troxell and Atteberry and a reception.
Space is limited so reservations are encouraged before Jan. 25 at fcgov.com/stateofthecity. The event will be streamed live on the City’s YouTube and Facebook channels. Residents are invited to ask questions in advance at fcgov.com/stateofthecity or via the City’s Facebook or Twitter pages using the hashtag #stateofFC.
The live Q&A will occur in the big theater and will be live streamed to smaller theaters. Live Spanish interpretation will be available through small ear pieces, which will be available for pickup in the lobby prior to the event.
