A GROWING HORIZON:
As the end of 2019 quickly approaches we wanted to take a moment to reflect on what has proven to be a historic year. The City’s new $18.2M Recreational Facility was opened, $9.1M was invested in improvements to Carr McNatt and Dave White park, Lucid Motors celebrated its Manufacturing Facility’s Ground Building which will be producing the Lucid Air by the end of 2020, and over 600 Single Family housing permits were pulled (more than the last three years combined). We have had a truly remarkable year thanks to all of the hard work and dedication of our City leadership, staff, and our community partners and supporters.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a very prosperous 2020!
