 In 2013, together, we accomplished so much:

–        Created a Recycle Education Center;
–        Upgraded our fire equipment with new Wildland firefighting gear and new hose nozzles;
–        Held Three of the ‘best ever’ signature events;
–        Opened new businesses and restaurants;

AND… by the way, real estate sales dollar volume went up 48.7% and sales taxes are up.  Our trajectory is definitely up.

So what’s in store in 2014:

Get ready because the list is long and exciting.
