A family used a manufactured home as a caregiver residence until the patient died in 2024, then sought to keep it while saving to build a site-built home.

Adding 10 police and 10 fire positions
The police chief says the department is down only five officers, with ten new hires expected in July. Fire is down ten, with a class starting May 18 and station renovations underway.
