Community Awards Nomination
2021 Community Awards
Early in the New Year, residents will be invited to join with City and community leaders at our annual State of the City Address, for a recap of accomplishments from the past 12 months and a look ahead to a new year of exciting projects. For 2022, we are mixing things up – the State of the City Address is scheduled for Thursday, February 17 at the UA High School, with plans to include some important updates on the Upper Arlington Community Center.
