Superior Mayor’s Minute: Community Development – a project for everyone

Superior Mayor Mila Besich-Lira

During our July Council meeting, the council voted to create a Community Development Committee.  This committee will provide oversight and advisement to the Town Council on everything from tourism development, marketing, annexation and our upcoming General Plan process.  We are inviting local residents to apply to the committee to be appointed by the council. 

  During the 2017-18 budget year, Town staff and the council will embark on a comprehensive planning process that will help us set our General Plan along with developing sub plans to be implemented.  Those sub-plans include downtown development, planning for a multi-generational community center and library, comprehensive parks plan and our capital improvement plan.  These plans and modeling are needed before the Town can acquire funding to make these improvements.  Even if you are not interested in serving on the committee, please come out and participate in the public meetings as they are scheduled.

  We are all anxious for the completion of the highway construction.  We are anticipating that the road will be striped and all barricades will be removed from the highway by the end of the week.  They will then focus their work on the final landscaping, the Stone Avenue underpass and curb repairs. 

  I want to personally thank everyone who came out and supported the Fourth of July Pool Party and Fireworks show our staff and the volunteers from the Junior and Senior High School Student Councils.  Everything was a team effort by our staff and the many contributors to the event.  Providing financial sponsorship to the party were: Superior Chamber of Commerce, OMYA Inc., Red Bear Outfitters, Cooper & Rueter LLP, Western Environmental Technologies Inc., and Colby & Powell PLC.  Thankfully we were able to have our fireworks show in a safe location. Thank you to Resolution Copper for allowing our Fire Department access to the tailings site on their property.  These types of partnerships is what makes us Superior!
