Did you know the Wyoming Recreation Center is one of the most-used services in the city, with more than 100,000 visits a year?

Did you know Wyoming organizes more than 57 events each year?

The “Did You Know” column is one of the additions to the city’s annual report, part of a redesign that includes photos, stories and points of interest for residents and those who may become members of the community.

The redesign, a joint effort between city officials and the Promote Wyoming Commission, is more readable and interesting, City Manager Lynn Tetley said. “It used to be just a report, and we wanted it to be something people wanted to read, hold onto, and maybe share.”

The report has been mailed to all residents of Wyoming for nearly a decade. Extra copies were distributed to real estate agents, to help them market the city and attract potential buyers.

“We wanted to feature the typical, and things that make Wyoming special,” Tetley said.

The annual report contains information from each department, as it has in the past, “but it’s written to be more informative and interesting than just data,” Tetley said. “It’s meant to be more engaging,” she said of the addition of pictures, and stories about friends and neighbors.

Wyoming also publishes Word on Wyoming, a quarterly newsletter that includes upcoming events, as well as information on programs and city services.

The annual report can also be viewed on the city’s website, www.wyomingohio.gov.
