City of Perry

From the Mayor’s Desk

March 9, 2023

Michigan weather has lived up to its reputation for change and unpredictability during the last few weeks and most likely will continue in that mode for the near future. The first day of Spring is March 20 so let’s hope Mother Nature changes her ways by then.

Jumping ahead to the City-Wide Yard Sale which is scheduled for May 19-21 followed by the City-Wide Clean-up event; there may be some changes to how that is done due to the possibility of changing the City of Perry trash service provider. Information about that will be posted as soon as those decisions are made.

Looking forward to spring.

Sue Hammond, Mayor

What are your plans for 2023? Everyone would like 2023 to be better than 2022 so we recognize the challenges of 2022 and reflect on how to make 2023 better.

While there is still much uncertainty going into this year, one thing is for sure: don’t let 2023 happen TO you. Instead, get clear on what is most important to you and do what you can to move forward.

Get a clear list of your goals and desired outcomes for the upcoming year.

This month the City Council members and Department Heads will begin working on this process for the City of Perry in conjunction with beginning to plan the new 2023-2024 budget.

We would like to hear from City of Perry residents regarding goals for the city and ideas to accomplish those goals. Please email me your suggestions at shammond@perry.mi.us or mail them to 203 W. Polly St. Perry, MI  48872.

Sue Hammond, Mayor
