Várzea Grande has undergone a period of significant municipal activity, characterized by infrastructure development, public health initiatives, and administrative challenges. The city marked its 159th anniversary with various cultural and social programs, alongside investments in land regularization, agriculture, and health facilities.

Public health has been a central focus, with the implementation of specialized medical equipment, community health outreach programs (mutirões), and vaccination campaigns. However, the system faced pressure, including a temporary emergency department closure due to overcrowding. To address staffing and service quality, the municipality has worked on professional career plans (PCCS) and signed transparency pacts with prosecutors regarding hiring practices.

Infrastructure and urban maintenance have been addressed through the ‘VG em Ação’ program, focusing on road repairs, drainage, and public space upgrades. The city also expanded social services, including support for women and the inauguration of a facility for sanitation workers.

Administrative and fiscal tensions emerged as Mayor Flávia Moretti faced a municipal budget stalemate and a severe financial crisis involving inherited debt and court-ordered liabilities. This led to political disputes with former leadership and the declaration of an administrative calamity following a fire at an education department warehouse. Despite these challenges, the city has continued to implement social policies, such as animal protection programs and cultural funding through the National Aldir Blanc Policy.
