INFRASTRUCTURE & MANAGED GROWTH
We have established and made public our plan, the needs and priorities for the infrastructure public. Estimated costs and timelines have also been presented and made public All the data and documents are on the city website.
OPEN GOVERNMENT; FISCAL STEWARDSHIP
It is our obligation to share information with our citizens and to be open, accountable and honest. The city website contains a tremendous amount of information including ordinances, financials and links to city commission and city council meetings. If there is additional information you need, please contact us directly.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING & ANNEXATION
A Community Development Corporation (501-c-3) has been established, a housing authority and/or land trust is in the works; ECHO Village has been expanded; nearly a dozen unused motels have been converted into affordable 1,2,3 & 4 bedroom apartments with reasonable rental rates for our workforce. Expanding city limits where there already is water/sewer infrastructure available will open opportunities for single and family affordable housing.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The Mayor's Task Force on Economic Development has developed strategies, tools, research, resources and presentations to attract new businesses to the community with a focus on high wagers and diversification. The Task Force has set up an independent 501(c)3 community development corporation to address housing and other economic development projects.

SUSTAINABILITY
Once we installed solar on the Planer Hill Welcome & Transit Center - the meter started going backwards resulting in immediate savings for the city. More savings have been realized when we converted all municipal buildings to solar and installed improvements after a comprehenive efficiency audit.
