Reno Mayor Hillary Schieve is scheduled to give her State of the City address on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Pioneer Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Reno, located at 100 South Virginia Street.

This event is free and open to the public. Attendance will be on a first-come, first-served basis. No RSVP is required for the general public, as all seating will be General Admission. The Pioneer Center has seating space for 1,488 people.
