ADRIAN \u2014 The city of Adrian is planning the third year of the Adrian Community Academy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Community Academy will consist of a 10-week course on Thursday evenings from Jan. 8 to March 12, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each session will take place from 6 to 7:30 pm. The sessions will primarily take place at the Adrian City Chambers Building,159 E. Maumee St., but some sessions will meet at other city facilities such as the fire department, water and wastewater treatment plant, and parks department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each session will feature a different department of the city, with presentations by department heads and staff members about how each department operates, how decisions are made, and how funds are allocated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea for the academy came from city commissioner Mary Roberts, who talked with the Michigan Municipal League and leaders in several other cities that have similar programs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0The academy is free of charge, and space is limited to 25 city residents.\u00a0 Applications are being accepted now on the city website<\/a>, and the deadline is Dec. 12.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
