My Hope for the Incoming Town Council
This is David Jenkins, La Plata Town Council member from Ward 4 and your host for this podcast and video, now available on YouTube, and YouTube Music.
This is an excerpt from my last article for the forthcoming Spring 2025 Town Newsletter - my hopes for the incoming Town Council, in place May 10, 2025.
It's been a privilege and honor to serve on the Town Council. I am proud of the progress we have made working together to improve La Plata’s quality of life.
Also update on:
- Town Manager Selection process
