Avondale Hosts National League of Cities Centennial Roadshow Highlighting Community Development and Resilience
The City of Avondale turned a new leaf in its history books this week, hosting delegates from the National League of Cities (NLC) as a part of the organization’s Centennial Roadshow. This nationwide tour, which celebrates NLC's 100th anniversary, aims to highlight the progress and resilience of American municipalities over the past century. Avondale was a standout destination on August 27, boasting a rich tapestry of innovation and community development stories, as shared by city officials and the NLC team.
Venturing through Avondale, NLC visitors, who were busy spotlighting the transformation of local communities, stopped at various key sites including the city’s Visitor and Conference Center. These locations, chosen to demonstrate the city's commitment to fostering economic growth and enhancing the quality of life for residents, underscore the shared ideals between Avondale and the NLC's mission. According to a media release by the City of Avondale, Mayor Kenn Weise stated, "It was a pleasure to welcome the NLC Centennial Roadshow, to share Avondale’s story and celebrate the progress we have made."
In addition to visiting the Visitor and Conference Center, NLC delegates also toured the Avondale Resource Center. Showcasing these areas, Avondale’s leaders were given the chance to highlight how such spaces have become cornerstones in building a community-focused and economically thriving environment. "Each of these cities has played a pivotal role in moving our local communities forward and has a unique story that showcases transformative change," Clarence Anthony, CEO and Executive Director of the NLC, told the City of Avondale Public Information Office.
The Centennial Roadshow is not about to put the brakes on its journey, with upcoming stops scheduled in numerous cities such as Tampa, Florida. This is where NLC is set to host its much-awaited City Summit conference in November. Those interested in learning more about the roadshow, as well as other centennial celebrations, are encouraged to visit nlc100.org for additional information. With each visit, NLC aims to lay the groundwork for the next century of city development, boosting discussions on how municipalities like Avondale will continue to shape the national narrative of urban growth and governance.
