The City of Piqua will be kicking off their third Piqua Government Academy to give residents an inside look at operations of the city government.

“The Piqua Government Academy has developed a tradition of providing a rich experience for participants.  For seventeen weeks, our participants are going to get an inside look at how our city operates and even have a chance to be a city commissioner for a mock commission meeting,” stated William Lutz, Development Program Manager, who is managing the academy.  “Participants will see our facilities and understand the work we do on a daily basis,” added Lutz.

The program will kick off on March 7, 2013 and will continue each Thursday night for seventeen weeks culminating with a Mock City Commission meeting on June 20, 2013.  Participants can register on-line for the program through the city website at www.piqua.org, by clicking on the Piqua Government Academy logo.  Applicants can also register by contacting William Lutz, Development Program Manager at 937-778-2062.  Registration for the program will close on February 28, 2013.

Those with comments or questions are strongly encouraged to contact William Lutz, Development Program Manager at 937.778.2062 or via email at blutz@piquaoh.org.
