Last Friday, our City crews came together for a cleanup day at the former St. Francis Hospital. We removed overgrowth, cleared brush and began giving the property some much-needed attention.

I asked our department heads if they and their crews would commit one day each month to helping clean up and better maintain the property. Every one of them was immediately on board.

What an amazing group of people who truly care about their city!

I have worked with some great people throughout my life—some of the very best, in my opinion—but I have never seen so many good people gathered in one place. Their willingness to step outside their normal responsibilities and work together for Marceline says everything about their character.

We understand that determining the future of this property will be a long and difficult process. This effort is not intended to settle that larger question. It is simply about doing what we can today to care for the property while the community considers what comes next.

We will continue moving forward one day and one cleanup at a time.

I love Marceline and the people who call it home. I could not be prouder of our City team!
