Exciting times...

This is truly an exciting time to be City Manager for the City of Albion.  Albion Economic Development Corporation and Albion Redevelopment Corporation are engaged cooperatively in extensive renovation and redevelopment projects downtown.  The beautiful Kalamazoo River that traverses through the downtown offers excellent opportunities to link our natural treasures with economic activity, and the expanding trail and park systems provide outstanding recreational amenities.  We have it all right here in Albion, and, if we continue to work to bring all of these wonder assets together, there is nothing stopping Albion from achieving its rightful place as a premier Calhoun county community!

My First Week...

Wow, this week was a blur of meetings, E-mails, and introductions as I started my first week with the city!  I appreciate so much the kind and warm welcome I have received from the Mayor, city council members, city staff, and the public.  The pride and love that Albion's citizens feel for this community are so apparent when you hear them talk and when you walk or drive around town.  I am so proud to be even a small part of a great municipal team and community.

Don't miss Albion's Festival of the Forks!

Albion will again be celebrating the Festival of the Forks this weekend, September 20 and 21.  Get out with family and friends, have fun, listen to good music, go to the carnival, watch the parade, enjoy the many events, and, of course, eat a lot!  Hope to see you there!  For more information, visit the event web site at https://www.festivaloftheforks.org/ .
