2023 State of the City: ‘All Aboard and Full Steam Ahead!’

The community is invited to join City Manager Michelle Crandall at Center Street Market on March 21 for the 2023 State of the City presentation, “All Aboard and Full Steam Ahead!” 

RSVP today

The event starts with networking at 5:30 p.m., followed at 6:15 p.m. by the State of the City presentation. The State of the City will cover highlights from the past year and look ahead to all the great progress happening in our community, from plans for the future recreation and wellness campus to economic development successes. 

The presentation also will include updates on the big ideas included in the Hilliard by Design community planning process, as well as details about the exciting Hilliard City Lab initiative – and why Hilliard was recently named one of the Top 21 Smart Communities in the world! 

And you’ll want to be sure to stick around after the presentation as Crooked Can Brewing taps their special new “Hilliard Roundabout Stout” – an Irish stout created just for this occasion!
