Mayor DeGeeter's State of the City address will be Feb. 28

PARMA, Ohio -- Mayor Tim DeGeeter will offer his 2017 State of the City address on Tuesday evening, Feb. 28 at 6:30 p.m.

Continuing the trend started when he entered office in 2012, the mayor will showcase a community partner by taking his address outside of City Hall. This year, the address will be delivered at the General Motors Parma Metal Center, 5400 Chevrolet Blvd. The Mayor chose this location to highlight GM’s recent $218 million investment in the facility.

“GM's $218 million investment in the Parma Metal Center is a testament to the plant's workers, the management team, and the partnership the two share,” the mayor said when the investment was announced. “This major commitment helps to secure the plant's future, which is critically important for Parma and Northeast Ohio.”

Past State of the City speeches have been held at UH Parma Medical Center, Cuyahoga County Public Library, OSG Tool and the UAW 1005 Union Hall.                                                                                                                                                        

“Our administration’s approach has always been to combine common sense and hard work to produce real results,” DeGeeter says. “We’re proud to share some of our positive results at the State of the City address.”

The speech is open to the public.
