“This past year showed us the power of a stable foundation and a connected community,” said Mayor Carlat. “We kept our eyes on the horizon and we have emerged stronger and more resilient than ever. I hope residents will join me on a video journey as we celebrate the state of our city to recognize the great work that we have been able to achieve over the last year, and how we continue to guide our city to achieve our greatest potential.”
