Mayor Muns outlines Plano's pathway of excellence during annual State of the City address

Mayor John Muns delivered an inspiring vision for Plano during the annual State of the City address, declaring the city "robust, resilient, and strong." He emphasized a commitment to a "pathway of excellence," reflecting on the community's role in nurturing generations of families. Muns highlighted the importance of compassion and hope as the city moves forward, ensuring that opportunities continue to flourish for all residents.

In a significant move to engage the community, the city is seeking input on how to allocate $10 million in federal housing funds as part of the 2025-2029 Federal Consolidated Plan of Housing and Community Development. Residents are encouraged to participate in a survey at plano.gov/hudplan to help identify unmet needs and set priorities for future programs and services.

In addition to housing initiatives, Plano is promoting its "Nickel Neuter Day" on February 25, where male cats can be neutered for just 5 cents at the Plano Animal Shelter. This initiative aims to promote pet health and combat overpopulation, with appointments now available by calling the shelter.

From February 10 to 14, residents can also enjoy "Share the Love Week," offering free access to Plano Recreation Centers, along with discounted memberships and prizes, excluding the temporarily closed Muhlenbeck center.

As the city continues to foster community engagement and support, these initiatives reflect Plano's dedication to enhancing the quality of life for its residents. For more updates, residents can visit plano.gov or follow the city on social media.
