Downtown Waynesville helped kick-off the fall season with Octoberfest. It was a perfect day for a fall festival and I appreciate the many volunteers who help make these community events possible. Next, we are looking forward to Christmas on the Square on December 1st and the Annual Christmas Parade on December 4th. Thanks to all our volunteers !
The City of Waynesville is moving forward on many important initiatives. At the October 18th City Council meeting, the City approved an $11 Million dollar financing package to fund a new building for the Ozark Technical Community College and to provide for the annexation and expansion of City utilities across the Interstate into a 200 acre tract of land. I am pleased that with the support of the City Council for this investment, that we have taken an important step forward to enhance the future growth and prosperity of the City of Waynesville. The annexation and extension of utility services will allow the development of a 200 acre tract that borders I-44 and the Westgate road, plus, we have provided the funding for the continued growth and expansion of Ozark Technical Community College. This is a “win-win” for the City, for OTC and for our citizens. Plans are already moving forward on the design of the OTC building which will be a 25,000 square foot facility and for the utility infrastructure plans for the City.
Several commercial buildings are under construction in the City and we are looking forward seeing the projects completed. The Veteran’s Administration clinic has been completed and is scheduled to be operational on/or before October 24th. We congratulate them for establishing a high quality facility to support our many veterans.
In a similar note, I have been selected by Representative Vicki Hartzler to serve on a Military and Veterans Affairs Committee. Your input and feedback is very important to me, to help me provide the “grass-roots” information to our congressional leadership.
Thanks,
Cliff Hammock
