SOU TR 8F <br /> � G <br /> z s <br /> 1865 <br /> CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br /> PETE BUTTIGIEG, MAYOR <br /> OFFICE OF THE MAYOR <br /> MAYOR PETE BUTTIGIEG STATE OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND <br /> A. Welcome/ Introduction <br /> First, I'd like to thank our hosts at the Kroc Center for making this beautiful space <br /> available to us. And I want to thank all in attendance for this evening's opportunity to <br /> provide a progress report and a statement of vision as this new administration works to <br /> deliver a fresh start in South Bend. <br /> • I want to give you an update on how we are actively laying groundwork for South <br /> Bend's comeback, and share key elements of the vision that will guide this <br /> administration's approach to the future. <br /> • We are just over 100 days into the life of this administration, and already there is <br /> a great deal of news to report. But this is only the very beginning of our work. <br /> • As mayor, my most important job is to define and communicate a vision for how <br /> our city can be safe,prosperous, well-educated, well-connected, and well-served <br /> by government. Those five themes safety, prosperity, education, connectedness, <br /> and efficient service guided my campaign and continue to guide this <br /> administration. <br /> • Tonight, the state of our city is hopeful. No one can ignore the challenges before <br /> us as we move into the future. But no one can deny that this community is <br /> rallying as never before to seize the opportunities at hand. <br /> • South Bend has very good timing right now. We are in a unique window of <br /> opportunity to come together and do business in a new way. It's already starting <br /> to happen, and all of us are responsible for keeping up that momentum. <br /> 1400 COUNTY-CITY BUILDING•227 W.JEFFERSON BOULEVARD•SOUTH BEND,INDIANA 46601 <br /> PHONE 574/235-9261• FAx 574/235-9892 <br />
