Bloomington, Ind. - Mayor John Hamilton's second State of the City Address will take place on Thursday, February 16 at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, 114 E.

"I'm eager to update the residents of Bloomington about the current state of our city. Now we have over a year of work under our belts and I'm excited to share what we have achieved so far and what we are working on going forward.
