AUBURN—

The Auburn community is invited to join Mayor Ron Anders as he reflects on Auburn’s challenges and successes at the fourth annual State of the City Address. The event will be held Wednesday, Nov. 16, at the Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center. Doors will open at 5 p.m., and the event will begin at 5:30 p.m.

In the address, Auburn residents will get a glimpse of what their local government has been up to in 2022 — addressing residents’ priorities through a new budget, planning for expanded recreation offerings and more. Anders will conclude the evening by presenting the 2022 Mayor’s Lamplighter Awards, recognizing the efforts six community members have made to make Auburn a brighter place.

The event is free and open to the public. Those unable to attend may watch the livestream on Facebook and YouTube. The Jay and Susie Gogue Performing Arts Center is located at 910 S. College St.

Please note, the event was previously advertised as being held on Oct. 25 in the October issue of Open Line and on the Auburn Opelika Tourism calendar. The date has been moved to Nov. 16 due to scheduling conflicts.
