Fresh off a trip to South Bend, Indiana, to introduce and endorse Pete Buttigieg\u2019s 2020 presidential campaign, Austin Mayor Steve Adler will make the annual State of the City Address on April 17.
\n
\nThe event comes a couple months later in the year than previous versions of speech, which have typically been made in January or February.
\n
\nTickets are available for the address, which will be held from 5-6:30 p.m. inside City Council Chambers at Austin City Hall, 301 W. Second St. Doors for the event will open at 4 p.m.
\n
\nAccording to a spokesperson from the mayor\u2019s office, the speech is still being finalized; however, looking at the local news cycle and city action over the last several months, there is a plethora of topics on which he could touch.
\n
\nAustin recently revamped its efforts to rewrite its land-use rules<\/a>, a now six-year effort that saw a collapse last summer; last week, City Council approved a comprehensive mobility plan<\/a> that aims to reduce reliance on cars, and the state Legislature is discussing a property tax revenue cap bill<\/a> that could result in a $51.7 million budget shortfall for Austin. There have been issues with classifying rape cases<\/a> and use of force at the Austin Police Department, and Austin Water has been hit with instances of both foul-smelling<\/a> and contaminated water<\/a> in recent months. The city is still grappling with a housing affordability crisis and rapid population growth.
\n
\nThe city has also made moves on its $925 million bond<\/a> passed by voters last November, highlighted by a record-setting public investment of $250 million in affordable housing. Apple<\/a>, Amazon<\/a> and Google have recently made large investments in the growing Austin economy, and construction is set to begin this year on a stadium for Austin’s forthcoming Major League Soccer team, Austin FC<\/a>.
