Those are the words of City Manager Megan O'Callaghan from the 2024 State of The City address .    You can absolutely take her word for it, but you can also hear from many people who joined Megan that night to explain how and why:  City Council members, City executives in public safety, economic development, transportation, sustainability, finance, and parks and recreation plus residents who also voiced their opinions.   Local students and volunteers joined, too, and discussed why Dublin is so special to them.  You'll also hear from our thriving business community and business partners who've called Dublin home for decades.   To paraphrase Mayor Amorose Groomes, a city is a simple calculation of population and area, but an exceptional community is one of connected people.   That's Dublin and that, too, is the state of our great City!
