May 2, 2024
Evansville Mayor Stephanie Terry will hold her second Traveling City Hall meeting this month, in partnership with the University of Evansville.
Mayor Terry will host the event in Eykamp Hall, located on the second floor of the Ridgway University Center at the University of Evansville, at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 15. Following brief comments from Mayor Terry, residents will have the opportunity to speak directly with officials from all city departments, as well as representatives from United Neighborhoods of Evansville and the Indiana Department of Transportation. The latter will be in attendance to answer questions about upcoming state road projects, including the Lloyd4U project that is slated to begin this spring.
“As mayor, I am proud to have the opportunity to represent all of the people of Evansville,” Mayor Terry said. “An important part of that – and maybe my favorite part – is having the opportunity to hear directly from people in the community about their issues and concerns, as well as about the things that they want to see and the things that excite them about our community.
“The Traveling City Hall program offers an opportunity not only to do that, but for my office and all of our city departments to take what we hear back to the office the next day and work to address those issues in real-time.”
Mayor Terry’s administration will host quarterly Traveling City Hall meetings throughout 2024, with each being held in different areas of the city, in conjunction with different community partners.
“The Traveling City Hall coming to the University of Evansville exemplifies the intentional relationship between town and gown,” said UE President Christopher Pietruszkiewicz. “This is an opportunity for our community and academic institutions to unite, share perspectives, and collaborate with residents for the betterment of our city.”
Future Traveling City Hall meetings will be held in August and November 2024, with the August meeting in partnership with the West Side Nut Club. Full details of that event will be announced at the May 15 Traveling City Hall.
