A Year of Crisis &
Opportunity

Editor’s Note: Mayor Kevin Smith delivered his annual

State of the City address on March 30, 2021. The next

few weeks we are printing excerpts of this address, with

updates.

This is the annual report regarding the status of our

city, and covers the highlights of the last year, since the

last annual report submitted a year ago today.

Last year at this time -- as we entered a new decade

-- we could not know what a challenge the coming

year would prove to be. Over the past 12 months, our

city has seen multiple crises,

including: the Covid-19 Pan-

demic; record-setting severe

weather events, highlighted
