Mayor Kerry Thomson of Bloomington, Indiana, will host a two-part Traveling Town Hall event on November 7, 2024, at Sherwood Oaks Church, designed to foster engagement within the community. The first session, which runs from 5:30 to 7 p. m. , invites all residents to connect with local government officials and inquire about city projects and services. The second session, scheduled from 7 to 8:30 p.

m. , will specifically target the Hispanic and Latinx community, providing necessary translation services to enhance accessibility. This dual approach highlights the administration's commitment to inclusivity and representation in local governance. Attendees will receive index cards for submitting questions or comments, ensuring that their voices are heard during the event. Mayor Thomson will begin the session with updates on current city initiatives, followed by a comprehensive Q&A segment.

These Traveling Town Halls are part of a broader initiative to make local government more accessible, occurring every other month in different districts. For further information, residents can contact the Office of the Mayor or visit the City of Bloomington’s website.
