Update from Mantorville

I hope everyone enjoyed another Marigold Days.  The timing of this message is such that Marigold Days has just wrapped up another awesome year.   Please remember the success of this event requires the hard work of many people each year.   Groups like the MRA and Chamber of Commerce, the pageant judges and fishing contest volunteers each do their part to make this weekend enjoyable for everyone.  These people deserve great praise for all of their ongoing efforts.  Too often this effort is not fully appreciated.  

In general, Mantorville continues to be high on peoples list of places to visit.   Our parks and camp grounds have enjoyed a record number of reservations.  Our downtown commercial district is busy each day.  The construction and building permits are climbing.  Our home owners show great pride in living in Mantorville and we continue to host special events throughout the calendar year. 

I am happy to report the economics of the City of Mantorville are solid and we are in position to continue with more projects to better our town.  Through the last couple of years, we have taken steps to ensure we can continue to be financially stable and in control of our future.  This has not been easy or without some sacrifice but we are now able to enjoy the benefits of sticking with the plan.  With our preliminary budget to be set at our first council meeting in September, we continue to examine our options for both our short term and a long term infrastructure development.

Specifically, with continued work to finalize the plans of how to proceed with our sewage treatment plant, these details will be available to everyone in an attempt to be clear to all what to expect and why this plan was selected.

The confidence you citizens have in this council is amazing.  Through this trust and working relationship, great things are being done.  I am humbled by this and pledge to do my very best each and every day.

As always….please contact me if you have any questions.  I can be reached at any time, day or night. 

Respectfully,
Luke Nash, Mayor of Mantorville
