“Building Momentum” was the theme of Avondale Mayor Kenn Weise’s 2022 State of the City Address on April 14.
Weise spoke before an audience of the business and development community, stakeholders and residents at the annual State of the City Event, held at the new Avondale Visitor & Conference Center.
During his unscripted delivery, the mayor shared the city’s many recent successes about economic development and growth and emphasized the importance of momentum, coupled with clear direction, to ensure continued success.
In his address, Weise acknowledged the growth of The BLVD, spurred in part by the city’s actions, including the foresight by city leaders many years ago to locate an indoor sports center that attracts 400,000 people to Avondale annually.
