”Livability is a term that, for me, captures the concerns of residents and businesses alike. Livability encompasses many things: A fiscally responsible local government, clean streets, safe neighborhoods, transportation options and local options for things such as food, entertainment, education and recreation.”
-Mayor Jeremy Ferguson
