Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the legacy he left through courage, compassion, and a relentless call to serve others. His message still challenges us to keep building a community where everyone is seen, valued, and treated with dignity.

In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, City offices are closed today. While our offices are closed, the work of strengthening our community continues - in the small choices we make, the kindness we show, and the way we look out for our neighbors.

Thank you for helping carry that legacy forward.
