Happy Arbor Day! This national holiday, which focuses on tree planting and conservation, is observed annually on the last Friday in April. Today, local leaders gathered at Whitley Branch Veterans Park to participate in tree planting. Council Member Holly Little, Mayor Randall Weddle, and members of the London Tourism & Parks Commission—Phil Smith, Chase Carson, and Todd Roberts—all took part in planting a tree that the community will enjoy for generations to come.
A special thank you to the London Tourism and Parks staff for preparing the tree and planting five Autumn Blaze Maples in the park today!

Mayor Weddle joined Building Inspector Josh Wilson as he spoke to junior and senior high school students at the Laurel County Center for Innovation.

In support of the Mayor's Community Outreach Program, Mr. Wilson partnered with CFI to deliver a lecture to engineering and industrial maintenance students about the significance of building codes. He emphasized that these codes often stem from past tragedies and highlighted their critical role in safeguarding lives through adherence.

We take pride in the remarkable youth of our community, who consistently demonstrate inspiring resilience, attitude, and actions, shaping a promising future.
