City and Countywide our employment is the strongest it has ever been and our retail industry continues to expand. Yes, we indeed have a lot in our community which to be thankful. As Mayor, I have learned that people working together to accomplish common goals is the rule in Hays - not the exception. A progressive attitude is demonstrated in the growth we have experienced in population, industry, commerce and tourism. People are learning about Hays and want to learn more.
City services are complete, dependable and effective.
In short, our city supports this growth and does what it can to see that Hays meets its potential. Hays is a growing community and our progressive attitude is dominant in the fabric of our citizens. I am proud to call Hays my home. Working and living easily merge in Hays. Our churches, schools, civic organizations, parks, recreation, tourism, industry, commerce, medical facilities, restaurants, hotels, retail and above all, our citizens combine to make Hays a community that will convince you that we are, indeed, the Heart of Ellis County and Northwest Kansas.
