A State of the City address in Bowling Green highlighted rising enrollment at Bowling Green State University, plans for a new high school on Poe Road and continued city investment in infrastructure and public safety.
The address, delivered at the Veterans Building in the city park and presented with representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, also noted community assets including festivals, farmers markets and new housing starts that officials said contribute to quality of life.
The speaker said Bowling Green State University (BGSU) has seen a sustained increase in enrollment and “implemented many transformational” improvements, though the transcript did not specify the programs or timelines involved. The address also referenced a new high school that is to be under construction on Poe Road; details about the school’s size, budget, timeline or funding sources were not specified in the excerpt.
The speaker said the city “continues to invest in its infrastructure and safety,” without listing specific projects, dollar amounts or departmental responsibilities in the provided transcript. The remarks also cited private- and public-sector activity including business and industrial growth and housing starts.
Dr. Ted Asselman, identified in the transcript as superintendent of Bowling Green City Schools, and Dr. Rodney Rogers, identified as president of Bowling Green State University, were named as presenters who joined the address. The transcript excerpt contains general remarks about the city’s shared community life—festivals, performing arts, parks and student activity—but it does not record any formal proposals, motions or votes.
Because the provided transcript is an introductory portion of the address, concrete details referenced (for example, the high school on Poe Road, the BGSU enrollment increase and infrastructure investments) were noted but not specified; no formal board or council actions appear in the excerpt.
