RAMADI — Iraqi officials and military servicemembers gathered at the Joint Coordination Center for the grand opening of the municipal center, May 28, in Ramadi, Iraq.

The opening of the municipal center provided a new place of business for the many departments working to restore basic services to the people of the city.

“Today and with God’s blessing, we open the office building of the municipal services for the city of Ramadi,” said Mayor Latif Iyada. “Now the service departments have a place from where they can conduct business for the people of Ramadi.”

Some of the service providers that will be working in the new municipal center are the departments of sewage, water, health, public works, electricity and education.

“We pray to God that he bless all those who are in the service of the city of Ramadi and its people,” Iyada said. “With this building, everyone will be able to work together for the people as we work to rebuild Ramadi.”
