Gilbert Mayor John Lewis on Tuesday gave his state of the town address, highlighting new commercial projects underway, the town’s improved financial standing and the family-friendly reputation built under his leadership.

Keeping with his tradition of addressing residents by video rather than with a traditional in-person speech, viewers filed into the SanTan Village Harkins Theatres to watch the presentation. The address has been delivered digitally since 2013. Lewis was first elected in May 2009.
