Mayor Dallas Luna of Ethridge has voiced his approval regarding the significant strides made in reducing the city’s debt, which has ultimately improved its financial standing. Throughout his two terms in office, Luna noted that the Ethridge city council has successfully reduced the road debt by over $100,000, alongside making substantial payments toward the sewer debt. These enhanced payment efforts have resulted in considerable savings on interest expenses for the city.
In addition to these financial achievements, City Hall is currently undergoing renovations that are being completed without any financial burden on the taxpayers. The upgrades to City Hall are designed to enhance energy efficiency, which is expected to yield further savings in operational costs. For the first time in many years, the city is experiencing a positive financial balance, operating in the green.
