Hancock to Deliver State of City on Monday

It’s been a big year for Denver Mayor Michael Hancock since his swearing in last July. Is Denver on its way to hosting the 2022 Olympics? Well, no. But Denver’s Civic Center might just become a National Historic Landmark. And hey, at least nobody can “camp” there anymore!

After two communications directors, hundreds of press releases describing Denver as a “world-class city,” and a year as mayor, Hancock will be delivering his second-ever State of the City address on Monday. In his first such address, delivered just a month after his swearing in, Hancock simply parroted many of the talking points that got him elected — par for the course, considering he didn’t have the time to, you know, actually accomplish anything yet.

In this year’s speech, however, Hancock has a year’s worth of decisions, successes, and failures to discuss. He’ll also take the opportunity, if he’s anything like predecessor John Hickenlooper, to announce new initiatives.

Here’s the media advisory from Hancock’s office:

DENVER – Mayor Michael B. Hancock will deliver the annual State of the City Address at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science on Monday, July 16, 2012. The Address will lay out the Administration’s work and accomplishments from the first year in office and present priorities for the future.
