| Welcome To The
Mayor's Corner
As Mayor of the City of Madison, Alabama, I am pleased to
welcome you to our community. Whether you are a visitor or
new resident, returning home to the Deep South or
discovering its charms for the first time I know you will
find our city a warm and inviting destination.
Here in Madison, we like to say that this is the place
where progress joins preservation. In a city rich with
history and character, our reverence for days gone by is
matched only by our enthusiasm for embracing positive
change and new technologies. The City of Madison, once
little more than a tiny farming community alongside the Norfolk-Southern
railway, has grown into a cosmopolitan economic center
for western Madison County, the focal point of North Alabama's
technology boom.
With an average of 600 new homes and 1700 new residents
each year, Madison's biggest challenge is meeting the needs
of its growing population while maintaining the high quality
of life that attracts many new residents to our city. To
address that challenge, we are:
Encouraging residents to Shop Madison First to bring
more sales tax dollars home
Implementing a Capital
Improvement Plan to build and repair essential
infrastructure
Developing greenways, trails, and sidewalks
to provide safer enjoyment of the outdoors
Building on
current economic development initiatives to attract new
businesses to our city
Adopting policies and procedures to
ensure quality developments that pay for themselves
I hope you will take the time to get to know your
community better and share your unique talents to help
Madison continue to be a great place to live. |
