State of the City

2021 State of the City

The Coppell Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual State of the City presentation on Thursday, January 13, 2022.

In his 2021 State of the City video address, Mayor Wes Mays and City staff highlight the City's accomplishments over the past year. A history of strategic planning and a conservative fiscal approach have not only distinguished Coppell as a community of choice, but has also allowed for our stability during trying times.

2021 certainly gave us a few challenges, but it also showed that we are prepared to meet unexpected surprises. Despite everything – from the lingering pandemic to a historic winter storm to continued legislative concerns – we were able to swiftly adjust to continue to serve our community.
