In Davidson Town Council’s Strategic Plan, one of the values identified was transparency in municipal decision making, finances, and communication.  Council’s Corner will focus on these strategic priorities as it relates to the Strategic Action Plan:

 Engagement, Communications and Team Work

• Repairs and upgrades to our water infrastructure continue on an as needed basis. A water main was repaired on Third Street, a zone valve replaced at the corner of King Edward and McGregor, and a few curbstop repairs are planned for this fall.
• The Town was successful in receiving a grant through the Targeted Sector Support Initiative for governance training following the November municipal election.
• SUMA is offering free virtual sessions for any residents interested in learning more about being on municipal council. Check out the Town of Davidson or SUMA Facebook pages for information on registering.
• Fall Friendship Night: Join us on October 16^th to celebrate our community, meet your neighbors, welcome those new to our community and enjoy a free meal.  Watch for more information!
• Community Recognition Awards: Do you know a person, business or organization that deserves special recognition? Nominations for citizen of the year, youth citizen of the year, business of the year, and organization of the year open on September 16^th.  Nomination forms will be available at the Town Office, Library or by visiting the Town website.  Winners will be announced at the Fall Friendship Night on October 30^th.
