Earlier this week, city staff and Mayor Schwarzler visited Ash Creek Elementary’s 5th Grade Open House, where students showcased the cities they designed and built as one of their final projects of the school year.

Their creative city plans included everything needed to support a thriving community, from water treatment plants, libraries, museums, and restaurants to an impressive number of Target stores.

It was a pleasure to meet some of the future leaders, planners, engineers, and builders who will help shape our community for years to come.
