Before setting our goals and resolutions for the new year, please join Mayor Turner in reflecting on 2022. This year has been marked by significant challenges and tremendous accomplishments. We launched One Safe Houston, which has decreased violent crime, made considerable progress on enhancing our neighborhood parks, opened more libraries, and won EPA approval for converting an abandoned landfill into the Sunnyside Solar Farm, which will be the largest in the country.

We assisted more individuals experiencing homelessness and strengthened the city's flood mitigation efforts. Our city also came together for an unforgettable celebration honoring the second Astros World Series Championship in five years. The past 12 months have been spectacular in many areas of achievement, and Houston is stronger and more resilient today because of my administration's work with each municipal department.
