It is indeed a privilege working alongside Mayor Don Lockhart and the city staff. I am excited about the future of our city. We have numerous assets, including three major highways running through our city, close proximity to Interstate 90, an available work force, and a “growth-oriented” community mind set. We look forward to meeting you and making our home, your home.
