eNews: Register for Walk This May!

We want to say THANK YOU to everyone in our community who has worked tirelessly to balance the needs of our local businesses and public safety. Tough decisions are being made at every step of the way. If you missed last night's City Council meeting, you can watch it here . Our doors might be closed, but we're available to help in any way we can! If your business has posted on social media about reopening , send it to us so we can share it! We still have curbside pickup signs available, and we're happy to let the community know how your business is making adjustments. We'd like your feedback and welcome any suggestions on how we can continue to advocate for Stillwater businesses.
