• Our guys here at the City are hard at work to get this town cleaned up. You may have noticed they have removed some of the older deteriorating homes. If you have a home that is deteriorating and just needs to come down let us know and we will help you with the removal of this home. Also we have noticed there are more and more vehicles that are broke down and without license plates sitting around on properties. We need any vehicle that is no longer running and that you have no intentions of fixing to please be removed at your earliest convenience. We strive to have a clean town and we need the help of the residents to make this happen.
