Mayor's Message

Welcome to 2020! As we move forward into a new year and a new decade, I just want to let you know what an honor it is to be your mayor. Pasadena saw amazing progress this last year, and the best is yet to come. Our city continues to attract new business while current employers create innovative ways to prepare our local students for career success. Major city projects are on track to not only upgrade safety services but to revitalize historical areas as well. For project updates, scroll down to City News . January also marks the kick-off for Pasadena’s 2020 Census count. Over the next few weeks, you’ll see updates and information regarding the upcoming U.S. Census and what an accurate count means for our city. I encourage you to visit www.pasadenatx.gov/census for our city’s Census updates.

Building Updates Progress continues on new construction around Pasadena. 2019 saw the groundbreakings for three major City buildings: Fire Station 8, the joint Police Academy/Fire Training Center and the long-awaited Pasadena Municipal Court Building. Project crews tell us construction is on track for all three facilities. The first responder training center will be completed later this spring, just in time for the City’s next class of new police and fire recruits.

Tomorrow's Leaders Hundreds of Pasadena ISD Early College Program students gathered for a special presentation at San Jacinto College recently. These hard-working young people will graduate from high school with college credit and Associate Degrees. Representatives from the City of Pasadena shared information on City departments, career possibilities and college campus safety. Check out the video here.
