Mayor Joe Jefferson took about 40 minutes to report on the past, present and future of the city during the June 1 State of the City address at the Englewood Civic Center. The event, the first in city history, began with about 30 minutes for the audience of about 250 residents, merchants and city officials to gather in the atrium to sample food and engage in conversations. At the conclusion of the social time, the focus shifted to Hampden Hall with overflow seating in the community room. City Manager Eric Keck introduced Jefferson and the mayor employed visual aids, including slides and a video on the screen next to the lectern as he talked about the history of the city, the current activities and plans for the future. Greg Miller and his family attended the event. “I though the event was very well done,” the eight-year Englewood resident said. “It was good to hear what was going on and what the city was doing now. It also was good to hear about some of the initiatives being planned for the future.” Amy Sargent, who oversees the Guild, a collaborative workspace in Englewood, said she felt the state of the city report was very informative. “I got excited seeing all the things going on in Englewood that I didn’t know SEE CITY, P7
