Mayor's Message
Welcome to our new and improved website. We are very proud to be able to continue great accomplishments for our town end during this devastating pandemic . We could not have done this without your help and cooperation. The community spirit and passion to help our neighbors is evident every day.
We welcome the newest show piece of our community the Atwater residential complex. It is a first class complex and is instrumental in our ability to break ground on our new recreation center in Olsen Park.
We are working on many projects to enhance our open space, parks and recreational facilities levering grants and other available funding.
