WHAT MAKES A COMMUNITY THRIVE and WELCOMING
It takes INVOLVEMENT and PRIDE in your surroundings by ALL living in that community. YES, sometimes that involves money by supporting your local businesses who in turn support your community through Sales Tax collected and returned to the City’s General Fund.
There are also other means of supporting your community such as becoming an ACTIVE member of your local Volunteer Fire Department, Emergency Medical Service, using your local post office and above all supporting your local school system.
PRESENTATION of your property or property owned by you plays a HUGE part in this. As it has been said before, IT IS TIME TO REMOVE ALL INOPERATEABLE, NO CURRENT TAG VEHICHLES, TRAILERS, CLEAN UP THE YARD, AND TAKE THE TRAILER LOADS OF SALVAGEABLE METAL TO THE SCRAP YARD.
