Dear Fellow Citizens,

I hope this spring has been productive for all of you, and it has certainly been a busy time here at the City of Trotwood.  Council Members and I have completed three of our planned Neighborhood Walk & Talks. On April 24th we visited the Oakview Estates neighborhood in Ward 1, on May 29th we were in the Meadowdale neighborhood in Ward 2 and on June 26th we walked the Trotwood Boulevard neighborhood in Ward 3. Our next Walk & Talk will be on Saturday, July 31st when we will be talking to residents in the Northgate neighborhood in Ward 4.

During these outings we have knocked on lots of doors and asked many residents to share their concerns about their neighborhoods and our community at large. The responses have been overwhelmingly positive, and we have discussed a wide ranged of subjects including neighborhood stability, economic development and overall city services.

We want our residents to know that we are listening, and that we are doing everything within our power to promote our city in such a way that impacts our overall goal to make government more responsive to them.

Lots of other things have been happening here. The City recently installed new landscaping, street lighting, trash receptacles and decorative benches along the Main Street corridor from Wolf Creek Pike to the Trotwood Foodtown complex. Thanks to a grant the City obtained, these improvements are bringing new life to this older part of our community and have clearly made it appear more vibrant and welcoming.

We strongly encourage citizens to attend our upcoming workshops where we will discuss various topics concerning the future growth of our City-owned assets. Although we have reduced the amount of City Council Meetings this summer season, we want everyone in Trotwood to know that we are always available to address any problems or concerns they might have at any time.
