Two hundred fifty years of freedom's flame,
America still proudly speaks her name.
From every porch and every waving spring,
Hope still has a song for all to sing.

Here in Powder Springs, our hearts shine bright,
Neighbors joined in red, white, and blue delight.
Together we've honored the past we knew,
While building tomorrow with all of you.

May God continue to bless this land we share,
With courage, kindness, and hearts that care.
Happy 250th Independence Day!

P.S. I ❤️ You, Powder Springs! 🇺🇸

As we met on Monday, January 5, 2026, for our first City Council meeting of the year, I took a moment to reflect on what 2025 represented for the City of Powder Springs — a year of progress rooted in purpose, people, and partnership.

🏛️ A New City Hall ●
One of our proudest moments in 2025 was opening our new City Hall. This long-awaited milestone gave our city a modern home that strengthens service delivery and anchors the continued growth of our downtown.

🏙️ Economic Growth & Jobs ●
We welcomed new business investment, including HF Foods Group, a state-of-the-art distribution facility, bringing jobs and opportunity to Powder Springs and reinforcing our commitment to a strong local economy.

🌆 Community Voice in Downtown’s Future ●
Through initiatives like PS I Love Downtown, residents helped shape the vision for our historic downtown — proving once again that Powder Springs is strongest when the community is at the table.

🚶🏾‍♂️ Smart, Thoughtful Development●
Throughout 2025, we continued planning for walkability, connectivity, and quality of life — ensuring growth that respects our history while preparing for our future.

🤝 Grateful for Partnership ●
None of this progress happens alone. I am thankful for our City Council, city staff, business leaders, and — most importantly — our residents who care deeply about this city.

As we step into 2026, I’m encouraged by where we’ve been and excited about what’s ahead. I invite you to stay engaged, attend meetings, share your ideas, support local businesses, and continue helping us move Powder Springs forward — together.
