Annually, we look back at the past year and celebrate our accomplishments as a City. I continue to Invest in People with the help of hard working staff, citizens, businesses and partners. Together we are building a stronger community. Each of the individuals, groups and businesses highlighted in the State of the City Address were honored with an award, as they are the Best of South Salt Lake!
State of the City is also my opportunity to share my priorities for the coming year. My three key priorities for 2019 are to:
1. Create a sustainable funding source for public safety
2. Continue quality economic development that benefits our residents
3. Update needed infrastructure that residents use every day
Margaret Wheatley says it best “There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about” we know that caring for people makes SSL strong.
