The mayor said the city is seeing growth coming to the area as people hope to move to the area, away from bigger cities.
Among the topics discussed, Crissman mentioned several ongoing and upcoming park revitalization projects within the city, including the replacement of the city pool at the end of the 2026 season.
Crissman also touched on a grassroots project to improve the park at Oakland Square.
