Story Archives: Mayo: 2009 unlike any other year for Monroe


Mayo: 2009 unlike any other year for Monroe
by Scott Rogers - posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
The state of the city of Monroe is stronger than it's ever been thanks to a banner year during 2009, according to Mayor Jamie Mayo.

Mayo delivered his annual state of the city speech Wednesday at the Monroe Civic Center.
Mayo said the city has enjoyed a budget surplus for five consecutive years, and today the city boasts a fund balance of more than $12 million. The city also has $3 million in economic development funds that it can use to entice businesses to locate here.

"We've achieved this status because we have learned to do what we've all talked about doing, and that's working together," Mayo said. "We've worked together at the local, regional, state and federal level."
