Join us for the 2025 State of the City, featuring Mayor Rita Ali as our keynote speaker. Hosted by the Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce and proudly presented by Homefield Energy, this annual event brings together business and civic leaders to reflect on the past year’s challenges and achievements, and to look ahead toward innovation and growth for Peoria’s future.
The program will begin with a welcome from Jessica Linder Gallo, President & CEO of the Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce, followed by an introduction of Mayor Ali by our Title Sponsor. Attendees will hear the highly anticipated State of the City Address, followed by a special community awards presentation and closing remarks from the Chamber’s Board Chair.
Following the luncheon, accredited media members are invited to attend a Media Q&A with Mayor Ali and City Manager Patrick Urich. A State of the City Reception will close out the day’s events.
We look forward to celebrating Peoria’s progress and future with you!
