More awards and recognition for OKC!
OKC Mayor Mick Cornett recognized as second best mayor in the world
Cornett finished just behind Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard in the World Mayor Project's annual awards.

Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett was named the second best mayor in the world Tuesday by a group based in London.
OKC Mayor Mick Cornett recognized as second best mayor in the world The World Mayor Project recognizes top mayors each year. Cornett won second in this year's competition behind Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard. Cornett was the top placing U.S. mayor and one of only two in the group's top 10.

Cornett said the award is more about the city's progress than him.

“It's more embarrassing than anything else to the extent that the award seems to be about one person,” Cornett said. “I think it's an acknowledgment of Oklahoma City's progression. The citizens should feel good about it.”

In explaining why Cornett placed second and won a World Mayor Commendation for services to his city, the group credited Cornett for the city's recent economic success.

“Described by one of his peers as a giant among American mayors, Mayor Cornett has turned the city, psychologically devastated by the terrorist bombing of April 1995, into one of the most vibrant and economically booming cities in the U.S.,” the group said.
