This year’s address will be unlike any other in Akron’s history – Mayor Horrigan will deliver the speech in the evening, at Akron’s “Central Park,” Lock 3. Akron Roundtable is hosting the event, which will feature food and a live musical performance.
During the 2021 State of the City, Mayor Horrigan will discuss the challenges Akron faces as we embark on a period of economic recovery and systemic change.

Mayor Horrigan is the 62nd Mayor of Akron, currently serving his second term. He has built the foundation of his leadership around improving the economic and civic wellbeing of Akron neighborhoods, building a more equitable, opportunity-rich economy, and implementing innovative, service-oriented policies that enhance the effectiveness and transparency of City operations.
Mayor Horrigan is proud to announce that, for the fifth consecutive year, proceeds of the event will benefit the Russell M. Pry Memorial Scholarship at The University of Akron School of Law, in honor of Mayor Horrigan’s friend and mentor, the late Summit County Executive Russ Pry.
