Enrollment is underway for the city of Delaware’s seventh “Citizens’ Academy.”
The academy provides an opportunity for residents who want to become more involved in the community and those who are curious about city operations.
The academy is free to attend, but classes are limited to 20 citizens and registrations are taken on a first-come basis, city officials said. If space is unavailable, you will be notified and placed on a waiting list for the next session.
The application deadline is 5 p.m. Feb. 5.
