Jacobs to deliver final State of the County speech

From the Orange County Government Media Relations Office

Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs will deliver the 2018 State of the County address at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts on Friday, May 18, at 4 p.m.

In the annual State of the County address, the Orange County Mayor — who functions under a CEO-style “strong-mayor” form of government — reports directly to residents on the state of Orange County’s economy, finances, operations and programs, all of which support Orange County’s superior quality of life and provide the groundwork for future prosperity.
