This is the Garden Grove's State of the City address delivered by Mayor Steve Jones on Thursday, April 11th. The event was presented by the Garden Grove Chamber of Commerce at the Hyatt Regency Orange County.

Steve Jones grew up in the City of Garden Grove. He decided to give back by, among other things, serving the City as Planning Commissioner, City Council Member and Mayor. During the last 25 year, his low key, energetic, no holds barred, visionary leadership has made a big impact on his home town, Garden Grove. You really have to watch the video to get the story.
