It has been a busy 2024 for Mayor Malik as he recently celebrated his 33rd birthday while delivering his first State of the City address on his 100-day mark of taking office.
The speech, which took place inside the Akron Civic Theatre, highlighted his excitement toward working on change in the city.
"The reason I'm excited for Akron is all of you," Malik told those assembled. "It's the energy for change that we are building together. Tonight, I want to focus on that change, because when I think about the state of our city, I think about a state of change."
