This report illustrates the dedication, collaboration, and innovative spirit that have made Meridian one of the most vibrant and livable communities in the West.

In 2024, we continued to make strides across our six key focus areas. These pillars guide our efforts to ensure Meridian remains a thriving hub for families, businesses, and visitors alike, and according to our Community Satisfaction Survey, 88% of residents believe Meridian is a good or excellent place to live and raise a family.

This report also recognizes the importance of addressing areas that residents identified as top priorities to work on. Specifically roads/transportation, education, and growth.

As part of our efforts, in 2024, we advanced key infrastructure projects to meet the needs of our evolving city. This included regulatory upgrades to our Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility and the final design. Working with our transportation and community partners, the final design of the Linder Road Overpass project was completed, and several road improvements were completed. We also celebrated the completion of pathways providing new opportunities for school connectivity and outdoor recreation.

Meaningful steps were taken to strengthen our quality of life. We made investment in our community spaces such as Lakeview Golf Course, Tully, and Discovery Parks, to maintain spaces that bring us together.

Safety remains at the core of our values. This year, we enhanced public safety resources focused on helping to reduce emergency response times and expanded community-focused programs. We also celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Meridian Anti-Drug Coalition, a group that is performing vital work in prevention and education, a testament to the power of partnership in keeping our city safe and healthy.

We have achieved great things together, but our work is far from over. I look forward to continuing this journey ensuring that we remain the West’s premier community to live, work, and raise a family.
