D uring the week of October 21-27, the City of Arcadia will join other cities across Florida in celebrating Florida City Government Week. This week has been set aside to recognize the many services city governments provide and their contribution to a better quality of life in Florida. Our theme, “My City: I’m Part of It, I’m Proud of It” pays tribute to the role citizens play in making our cities great.

City government is truly government of, by and for the people. The people who are making the decisions about our community are your neighbors, business owners and community leaders. City government is administered for and by its citizens and is dependent upon public commitment to carry out its responsibilities.
