State of City address planned for May 8

Mayor Dean Grafos will deliver the State of the City address May 8 at Spokane Valley Mall and again that evening at CenterPlace Regional Event Center.

The first is scheduled for noon at the mall’s Center Court and will be part of City Hall at the Mall day. Grafos will deliver the address again at 6 p.m. at CenterPlace, 2426 N. Discovery Place.

An informal question-and-answer session will follow each address, the city said. Council members and city staff also will be on hand to help answer questions.
