During his first State of the City address Thursday evening, Mayor Christian Price outlined his vision of a Maricopa that could be.
It’s what Price called “Act II.”
“One of the things that I like to tell people is that when you look at a multiple-act play in a theater, there’s an age-old saying that says ‘the second act is always the best,’” he said before city staff and community members inside the new city hall’s council chambers. “It allows for one to delve deeply into the meat of the story.”
Using a PowerPoint slide to guide guests through his speech, Price outlined the city’s history during the past 10 years as well as presented current challenges and future plans. He offered his own take on the Maricopa of tomorrow – something that goes beyond a city resident’s wishes for an IHOP restaurant or a Target.
