The city of Avondale celebrated its 80th anniversary since its founding in 1946, inviting local and state leaders, residents and partner organizations to Estrella Mountain Community College for the State of the City. Delivering his second address since being elected as mayor, Mike Pineda highlighted the city’s various accomplishments and plans for “a bold future.”
“I am proud to call Avondale home and I’m even more proud to lead the city into the future,” Pineda said. “When I look ahead to the next 80 years, I see big things — thoughtful growth, innovation, neighborhoods that stay connected, businesses that continue to flourish and children growing up here just like I once did.
“I am proud to be a small part of that story and I’m excited for all that we will accomplish together.”
