(Dublin, OH) - Dublin City Manager Marsha Grigsby will present the State of the City address at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 15 in the Abbey Theater of the Dublin Community Recreation Center, 5600 Post Road.

“We invite our residents, neighbors and business community to join us as we celebrate the past year’s success and look ahead to plans for 2012,” said Grigsby. “It also is a great opportunity for City Council members and City staff to mingle with our residents.”

The theme – A Healthy City in Motion – will feature the health of the City from fiscal, city services to infrastructure, and highlight innovative projects like the Bridge Street Corridor and the City’s compressed natural gas filling station slated to open this spring.

Inspired by the Healthy Dublin initiative launched in 2011, Grigsby said the City and the Healthy Dublin community partners are presenting a Wellness Premiere beginning at 4:30 p.m. in the Dublin Community Recreation Center Community Hall, prior to the State of the City address. This open house expo will feature the ingredients that go into creating a healthy community, including fitness programs, safety, sustainability, lifelong learning, recreation and live cooking demonstrations and samples from local chefs, including Wellness Forum Executive Chef and cookbook author Del Stroufe.

“We invite the community to join us on March 15 as we celebrate a healthy City,” said Grigsby. “This is a casual event. We encourage participation and hope our residents will be inspired by the resources, services and information available through the City of Dublin and our community partners.”

Healthy Dublin is a visionary and goal-oriented community health and wellness initiative designed to provide Dublin community residents and businesses with access to free health and wellness events, activities and programs. Healthy Dublin partners include the City of Dublin, the Dublin Chamber of Commerce, Dublin City Schools, Columbus Metropolitan Library-Dublin branch, Dublin Methodist Hospital, HealthSpot, Washington Township and 411fit.
