As Mayor I would like to Thank the Council
Rex SMith, mayor
for believing and having confidence in me to be Mayor.
I would also like to Thank the outgoing Mayor & Council
for all their time and work they have put into projects in our Community.
I am excited to serve our Community, to continue with projects and perhaps look at new ones.
I feel it is important to have residents involved in the decisions for our Village,
as we face unique and challenging times as we continue to grow.
I look forward to the challenges we will face together in the next 4 years.
Thank you again for your support!
