For the first time since 2019, the Mayor of Pittsburg delivered the State of the City in person to a packed house at Memorial Auditorium with a complimentary breakfast provided by the Blue Spoon. Mayor Ron Seglie spoke briefly about the city’s accomplishments and the challenges that lie ahead and what the near future looks like. Seglie highlighted a number of recent civic initiatives such as his Spruce Up Pittsburg campaign. As part of that effort, the city has been divided into specific neighborhoods and a council appointed to oversee clean-up. Over the past few years, nearly 60 dilapidated buildings have been razed. Seglie said if he were around long enough, he would love to clean up and restore the city’s brick sidewalks. “The full effort is to empower citizens to get out there and do something for the city and for themselves,” Seglie said, “to take pride in their neighborhoods.”
