Mayor to host next “City Hall for a Day” in the Crooked Creek neighborhoods
INDIANAPOLIS – Mayor Bart Peterson and members of his administration will host “City Hall for a Day” in the Crooked Creek area of Pike Township.
WHEN: Tomorrow, Thursday, December 21
“City Hall for a Day” brings many of the staff and resources of city government to a particular area of the city for one day, allowing the Mayor and city staffers to meet with other local government leaders, neighborhood leaders, visit local businesses, see community projects and activities, and take part in many other activities and events.
This will be the Mayor’s 14th City Hall for a Day. Previous ones were held in Oaklandon, Ben Davis, Chapel Hill, Traders Point, Franklin Township, Decatur Township, Martindale Brightwood, Broad Ripple, Haughville, Garfield Park, Riverside/Near Northwest, Near Eastside, Far Eastside, and most recently, Southport and Homecroft.
“City Hall for a Day helps me do my job much better because it helps me understand the City better,” said Peterson. “I see things instead of just hearing about them and reading about them. And because so many of our city employees go out as a part of the program as well, we ALL have a birds-eye view of our neighborhoods.”
