Mayor to Deliver State of City Thursday

Bethlehem Mayor John Callahan will give his final 'State of the City' address Thursday morning at the Musikfest Cafe.

Bethlehem Mayor John Callahan is scheduled to give his 10th and final state of the city address at 8 a.m. Thursday at the Musikfest Café at the ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks.

“State of the City gives me a chance to explain the state of your city government, how we spend your tax dollars, where we are trying to save your tax dollars and how we are growing our economic tax base,” the mayor said through a news release issued Wednesday. “I look forward to this event more than any other annual event on my calendar.”

Callahan is serving his last year as mayor as his two-term limit maxes out at the end of 2013. He has, however, announced his intention to run for Northampton County Executive.
