DEARBORN — The city released a taping of Mayor Jack O’Reilly’s State of the City address after the live presentation was cancelled due to a winter storm last week.
O’Reilly commenced the address in a new format, as several guests discussed the city’s accomplishments in 2015 and shared plans for the future.
“Partners, volunteers, commissioners and business leaders all work together to move our city forward and I want to show how effective that engagement is,” O’Reilly said.
Joining the mayor at the table were Ghassan Ahmed, a youth commissioner and one of the organizers of The Real Dearborn March; Jackie Lovejoy, president of the Dearborn Area Chamber of Commerce and member of the West Dearborn Downtown Development Authority; Judith McNeeley, member of the East Dearborn Downtown Development Authority and vice president of community and corporate partnership for Beaumont Health; Dave Norwood, sustainability coordinator for the city of Dearborn; Mary Petlichkoff, chair of the Dearborn Federation of Neighborhood Associations, member of the City Beautiful Commission and trustee on the Dearborn Board of Education; Nancy Siwik, chair of the City Planning Commission and Jeff Stassen, chair of the Recreation and Parks Commission.
The focus of the discussion was collaboration.
