Closing remarks by Mayor Armondo Pavone:

The way we have engaged with the community has changed over the years. Our methods used to be more one-sided, one-way communication. Now, with social media, residents, businesses, and neighborhoods want to be heard. This is why we are very excited for the Neighborhood Program's community engagement tool, In the Loop!
