UPDATE: Wednesday’s online forum was postponed to 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 4, due to inclement winter weather.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Grand Rapids' city leaders have a pair of public updates planned for the next month, beginning with a live online forum on the city’s strategic planning.

The forum is slated for 6-7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 30. City Manager Mark Washington will provide an overview of his first 120 days in office and an update on the city’s strategic planning process.

The free event, hosted by Washington and Mayor Rosalynn Bliss, will be streamed on the city’s Facebook and YouTube accounts.

Grand Rapids' strategic planning process is a partnership between Washington and the city commission, which is used to determine priorities for fiscal year 2020′s budget and the next 3-5 years.

“The strategic plan will help us understand who we are, where we want to go, how we can reach our goals and measure our success over time,” Washington said in a press release.

“I look forward to providing the community with an update on this work and other important efforts we have going on. This is part of my commitment to transparency and engaging the community in our work.”

In addition to Wednesday’s event, Bliss is scheduled to give her 2019 State of the City address on Monday, Feb. 25, at Elevation, located on the lower level of the Intersection at 133 Grandville Ave. SW.

Bliss said her fourth annual public address will be a similar event to the one held three years prior.
