    State of the City Address 2016 Dr. Karen Weaver, Mayor of Flint Flint, Michigan / August 4, 2016

    FINAL VERSION State of the City Address 2016 Dr. Karen Weaver, Mayor of Flint Flint, Michigan / August 4, 2016 Good evening. It is an honor to address the people of Flint at my first-ever State of the City address. I appreciate the many citizens and leaders from government, business, churches, and the community who have chosen to attend today, especially Congressman Dan Kildee and Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero, and I am grateful for the steadfast support you have shown the City of Flint as it deals with a shocking and unprecedented drinking water crisis. Despite that crisis, the resolve to make our city of Flint greater than ever has never been stronger. We are determined to continue the upward trend Flint was on before this crisis hit, when new restaurants and businesses were opening, revitalization was underway, and entrepreneurship was taking hold, along with a growing faith in the future. Those positive changes mean that, once again, we’re enjoying Atwood Stadium as an anchor in downtown Flint, a place we can watch our great sports teams play now it has been renovated by Kettering University. And who isn’t looking forward to next year’s reopening of the Capitol Theatre, which will be restored to its historical glory thanks to the state, the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and the Hagerman Foundation? Isn’t it positive that new companies are moving into Flint and creating expanded job opportunities, such as iSource Worldwide’s $2.7 million investment and 100 new jobs for the Dryden Building? Aren’t we excited to see the long-vacant Chevy in the Hole property being transformed into a wonderful community park and into Kettering University’s new automotive training ground? Flint is a wonderful place to live, and we plan to create an even better city in the days ahead.

In this sense, it may truly be called a Foundation for Living — with the ultimate aim of developing greater understanding among men. “We recognize that our obligation to fellow men does not stop at the boundaries of the community. In an even larger sense, every man is in partnership with the rest of the human race in the eternal conquest which we call civilization.” harles Stewart Mott (1875-1973), who established this Foundation in 1926, was deeply concerned, from Chis earliest years in Flint, with the welfare of his adopted community.
