Community Initiatives

Once a year Mayor Hanna visits the middle and high schools of Appleton with the  purpose of hearing what is on the minds of our young people. While he is elected by those who are of voting age, Mayor Hanna is quick to point out to the students that he doesn't just represent those of voting age, but rather all citizens - both young and old.  In his recent visits the students voiced concern about bus transportation to North High School.  There is interest in the plans of converting the Valley Fair Mall into a mall for youth, as well as, concern about the possible war with Iraq and what impact that might have on Appleton.  The students that the Mayor has met with have also voiced their pleasure with the Performing Arts Center and the newly improved College Avenue.  Information on setting up student visits with Mayor Hanna can be arranged by calling 832-6400.
