From The Mayor

Dear Glasgow Residents,

I would like to comment on the numerous Facebook comments pertaining to the commercial hanging flower pots and trees in the downtown area. The comments state that local tax dollars have been used to purchase the flowers, trees and benches in the downtown area. This is not true!

Many current and past Glasgow residents, local businesses, grants and donations from TC Energy, Northwestern Energy, Thrivent Lutheran, WELCA, Montana Aviation Research Company, Glasgow Area Chamber of Commerce, Soroptimists, Two Rivers Growth, TBID and local churches have all donated generously over the past six years to purchase the benches, trees and hanging flower baskets to enhance the downtown shopping area.

I would like to make it clear that local tax dollars have never been used for this beautification project nor will they be.

The goal is for residents and tourists alike to enjoy their experience while visiting and/or shopping in our historic downtown businesses.

We are all proud of our unique city and as you can see, many are generous with their time, talent and monetary contributions for our benefit.

Sincerely,

Mayor Becky Erickson
