🌟 BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT: DECATUR MEAT MARKET / CARNICERIA GUANAJUATO 🌟

📍 229 South Main Street, Decatur

This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Carlos Ortis, owner of Decatur Meat Market, also known as Carniceria Guanajuato! 🥩👏

Carlos opened his store almost 17 years ago and is one of those local business owners who is always willing to step up when our community needs a helping hand. Whether he’s supporting our local schools, helping with Decatur BBQ, or pitching in wherever he can, Carlos continues to show what it means to be a part of a community that cares.

In addition to being a great community supporter, Decatur Meat Market offers sales on meat products, helping families in and around Decatur find great deals.

Small businesses are the heart of our community, and business owners like Carlos remind us how much of a difference one person can make by giving back and supporting their neighbors. ❤️

Thank you, Carlos, for all you do for Decatur and the surrounding communities! Your generosity, support, and commitment to helping others do not go unnoticed. Let's continue to support the local businesses that support us! 🙌

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP IN ACTION!

Yesterday, Falling Springs was closed for a few hours while crews worked to clear overgrown trees and underbrush along the roadway. We have received several complaints from people who travel this route about the vegetation growing too close to the road, creating concerns for those using it.

The City of Decatur had previously attempted to address the issue but did not have the equipment necessary to complete the job successfully. Mayor Johnson reached out to the Benton County Road Crew for assistance, and they stepped up to help!

The work required a little more effort than originally anticipated, but these crews worked hard and got the job done!

The Decatur Police Department would like to extend a sincere THANK YOU to:

Mayor Johnson and the City of Decatur for helping coordinate the effort.

The City of Decatur Streets Department for the removal of the debris.

The Benton County Road Crew for answering our call for help and putting in the hard work to get this project completed.

We appreciate everyone who came together to make this happen. It was a great example of local agencies working together to address a community concern and make a difference for those who travel our roadways.

Thank you all for your hard work, teamwork, and commitment to our community!
