The new website is a few weeks old and we are excited about the comments we have received so far. There is still work to do, on the website, but we are happy with the new format and look. The staff is learning the “ins and outs” of how to make changes and add new information and we look forward to the opportunity to provide new information and updates.
Chief Harper
