Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper will be the featured speaker tonight at the Mercantile Library's Cincinnati USA and the World event.

Hickenlooper is responsible for overcoming a $70 million city budget deficit, helping to create the wildly successful LoDo District, passing the largest regional transit initiative in the U.S. and spearheading local sustainable development efforts.

He was named one of the top five big-city mayors in American by Time Magazine in 2005.

Skip and Susan Hickenlooper and the Knowledge Works Foundation are sponsoring the event.

The program begins at the Mercantile's Reading Room at 7 PM. Admission is $5.
