From the Mayor
“I am very honored to be your Mayor! Together we continue to build a community that future generations can be proud of; one that is a very desirable place in which to live, work, raise a family and retire; but also, to visit, shop, seek healthcare, and do business. We are a safe community, a vibrant community and place many of our citizens have sought out to be their hometown for a lifetime.”
