Ogden City is preparing for a significant visit to its sister city, Hoff, Germany, next summer, marking a continuation of a 75-year relationship that began shortly after World War II. This announcement follows a recent celebration in January, where representatives from Hoff visited Ogden to commemorate the anniversary.

The planned trip, which was initially scheduled for 2020 but canceled due to the pandemic, aims to strengthen ties and foster cultural exchange between the two cities. During the government meeting, officials discussed the logistics of the upcoming visit, including a proposed trip allowance for council members, which has been a source of some confusion.

While the exact amount for the allowance has not yet been finalized, it was clarified that council members would be responsible for their own travel costs. The discussion highlighted the importance of maintaining the longstanding relationship with Hoff, emphasizing the mutual benefits of such exchanges.

As Ogden prepares for this visit, city officials are optimistic about the opportunities for collaboration and learning that lie ahead.
