Mayor Frank G. Jackson's Week in Review

Dear Clevelanders,    On Thursday, October 7, I delivered my final State of the City address at Public Auditorium. I want to thank you for allowing me to serve as your Mayor for the past 16 years. During my address, I shared my gratitude and my vision for Cleveland's future, and also touched on many challenges that our City faces. You can watch a recording of my State of the City address on our Facebook and YouTube pages. View photos from the event here.    I also held a virtual press conference on Friday, October 8 to answer questions from the media following my State of the City address. To watch footage of the press conference, click here. Here is a look at some of the announcements from this week: October 1: We announced details for trick-or-treating and Big City Boo 2021. The City of Cleveland will observe trick-or-treat hours in neighborhoods throughout the City from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday, October 31. On Friday, October 29 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., the City will host its annual Big City Boo celebration at all Neighborhood Resource & Recreation Centers (NRRCs). Parents and caregivers can bring children to NRRCs to enjoy events, games, prizes, food and treats. Big City Boo provides Cleveland youth with a safe and fun alternative to trick-or-treating. To ensure the safety of all attendees, each NRRC will be staffed with off-duty police officers, police zone cars and auxiliary police.

Class sizes for all NRRC programs are limited and early registration is advised. All programs are free.    I also invite interested residents to opt in to the new bi-weekly curbside recycling program.
