Asotin Residents and Visitors…
The last messages have been about pandemics, taking care of yourselves and your neighbors. While the world has evolved into our new normal, be that good or bad, we find ourselves not as focused on those areas. I am right there with you, after years of dealing with endless restrictions and requirements to keep the community safe it became very challenging. Saying that, it was my goal during that time to stay focused on community, and while the focus remains the direction is a bit different. This year you will see a new playground area at the city park, you will see older city buildings being re-roofed, and keep an eye out for a possible highway improvement project around the school to protect the kids. You might have already noticed the “re-branding” of the Public Works department with a new logo for the shop and the vehicles/equipment. As I am undertaking these new projects, I would only ask that you yourselves take pride in our little community. If you go to the parks, pack it in -pack it out. If you are on a walk and see some trash, pick it up. If you have weeds in your alley area, over-growth, dead branches, clean them up and make your own area as neat as you expect the town to look. I look forward to this year and also would encourage you to sign up for our emergency notification system if you haven’t already done so.
Thank you for your time, I hope everyone from community members to visitors have a great 2023 and look forward to seeing you as some of the events that area planned throughout the year.
