Thereโ€™s something special about this time of year in Columbia. โ˜€๏ธ

School is back in session, our parks and public spaces are buzzing, and fall activities are already in motion.

From cheering on a parade and enjoying live music to making memories at our parks, wrapping up another season at the pools and racing across the finish line, thereโ€™s no shortage of ways to get out and enjoy Columbia.

The temperatures may still be holding onto summer for a little while longer, but weโ€™re looking forward to everything this next season brings.

Hereโ€™s to the people, places, and moments that make Columbia feel like home. ๐Ÿ’™

Columbia Utility customers can turn spare change into meaningful help for local residents experiencing financial hardship by rounding up their monthly utility bill to the nearest dollar.

The average contribution is about 50 cents a month. Still, when thousands of customers participate, those small contributions can add up to tens of thousands of dollars to help neighbors keep essential services, including electricity and heat.

๐ŸŽ“ A badge comes with a responsibility, but it also comes with a purpose.

For one of the newest members of the Columbia Missouri Police Department, becoming a police officer is about having the opportunity to help people, protect and serve the community, and build meaningful connections with the people of Columbia.

As this academy class begins the next chapter of their careers, they carry a commitment to keep learning, grow alongside their fellow officers, and be there for the community when needed.

Congratulations to the newest members of the Columbia Police Department! We are proud to welcome you to the team. ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™€๏ธ

Columbia voters approved Prop 1 on Aug. 4, establishing a dedicated one percent general sales and use tax to support public safety.
