Now that 2014 is behind us, many are reflecting on the past year and looking forward to making 2015 even better.

Perry Mayor Jay Pattee says the City has a lot to be proud of.

“2014 was a great year for the City.  We left the recession behind, we got rid of all of the worry over the cutbacks that were happening at the state level – not that those aren’t still upon us, it’s just that I think we did a good job of planning ahead, anticipating them and it made 2014 an easier year as the result of our previous efforts” says Pattee.

Moving forward, Mayor Pattee says he expects some “really great things” to happen this year including the potential for the largest solar array in the state to be built in Perry, improvements to Pattee Park with the new soccer complex and continued progress in promoting the city.
