Findlay State Of The City

On Mon­day, the mayor of Find­lay, Lydia Miha­lik, gave her annual state of the city address.

Mayor Miha­lik yes­ter­day, touted the progress of the last year and the bright future of 2014.

She said the city is near­ing the final leg of the marathon to flood mit­i­ga­tion. The mayor said the project is 75% done.

In a city prone to flood­ing, such as Find­lay, that’s wel­come news.

Every time the Blan­chard River floods, the cost is dev­as­tat­ing to home­own­ers and the local econ­omy.

A big pri­or­ity this year for Find­lay, accord­ing to the mayor, is eco­nomic devel­op­ment and job cre­ation.

Mayor Miha­lik says the city added more than 500 new jobs last year.
