Teamwork (and a little brainpower) got us out just in time!

Our city staff took on an escape room challenge last week, joined by our Mayor and City Councilman Parette. It was a great way to build stronger connections and sharpen the teamwork that helps us serve our residents every day.

We missed two of our staff members who couldn’t join us, but we’re grateful for all the hardworking people who keep our city running smoothly behind the scenes. Thank you for your dedication to our community!
