Greetings!
We've enjoyed a summer filled with great outdoor activities, from our 4th of July Parade, concert, and fireworks to our Food Truck Festivals and the fantastic House Music Festival. However, just because the air has chilled and we must move inside doesn't mean we're finished.
We have a great line-up of events for fall leading right into our holiday season. The city that plays together grows together and stays together. I want to see everyone in Plainfield come out and enjoy these programs curated specially for our community.
This newsletter shares upcoming events and exciting programs in the city of Plainfield. Use it as your guide to help you navigate and plan your weekly schedule. Come out, join the Queen City in its adventures, and let's grow our community and strengthen our camaraderie.

Greetings!
Hemos disfrutado de un verano lleno de excelentes actividades al aire libre, desde nuestro desfile, concierto y fuegos artificiales del 4 de julio hasta nuestros festivales de camiones de comida y el fantástico Festival de Música House. Sin embargo, el hecho de que el aire se haya enfriado y debamos entrar no significa que hayamos terminado.
Tenemos una gran lista de eventos para el otoño que conducen directamente a nuestra temporada navideña. La ciudad que juega unida crece unida y permanece unida. Quiero ver a todos en Plainfield salir y disfrutar de estos programas seleccionados especialmente para nuestra comunidad.
Este boletín informativo comparte los próximos eventos y emocionantes programas en la ciudad de Plainfield. Úselo como su guía para ayudarlo a navegar y planificar su horario semanal. Sal, únete a la Ciudad Reina en sus aventuras y hagamos crecer nuestra comunidad y fortalezcamos nuestra amistad.

RECAP - CANNABIS CONVERSATION
Thursday, October 13, 2022
|
|
On Thursday, October 13th the City of Plainfield hosted a Cannabis Conversation for residents and stakeholders. The Queen City is at the forefront of legislation for the cannabis industry.
Mayor Adrian O. Mapp spoke about the monumental impact the war on drugs had on black & brown communities for minimal amounts of marijuana. He added that as a result families have been torn apart with lifelong consequences and we are focused on social justice and creating equity within this industry.
Director Valerie Jackson remarked that the City has been very intentional about ensuring that all Plainfield based cannabis businesses must hire locally and provide apprenticeships and ownership opportunities for residents especially for those individuals who were negatively impacted by overly harsh drug laws.
Council President Barry Goode, Council Vice President Charles McRae, Councilwoman Ashley Davis and Councilwoman Terri Briggs-Jones were in attendance.
The Mayor, City Council and City Administration understand the positive opportunities this industry provided. From revitalizing the light industrial landscapes to the jobs that will be available to residents. We are committed to moving the Queen City forward and providing a better quality of life to our community.

What Is The Love Plainfield Campaign? |
The Love Plainfield campaign launched on March 9, 2021. It's an initiative focused on fostering a spirit of love, pride, and unity in the City of Plainfield while encouraging residents to work together to celebrate and promote the Queen City's rich history and vibrant culture. (La campaña Love Plainfield se lanzó el 9 de marzo de 2021. Es una iniciativa enfocada en fomentar un espíritu de amor, orgullo y unidad en la Ciudad de Plainfield, al tiempo que alienta a los residentes a trabajar juntos para celebrar y promover la rica historia y la vibrante cultura de queen City.)
What defines a place is its people, and our people are diverse and unique. Our residents are the best resource that Plainfield has, and it's up to us as "One Plainfield" family to showcase our Plainfield Pride and show our Love for this city we call home. (Lo que define a un lugar es su gente, y nuestra gente es diversa y única. Nuestros residentes son el mejor recurso que tiene Plainfield, y depende de nosotros como familia "One Plainfield" mostrar nuestro Orgullo de Plainfield y mostrar nuestro amor por esta ciudad que llamamos hogar.)
