Mayor's Minute Ep. 5 - Week of April 13 - 19, 2025

Hey there, friends! Welcome to another vibrant week in Monroe, where history was made with landmark promotions in our police department. Trailblazing women like Captain T.J. Goforth, now Assistant Chief, and the first black woman Captain Monique Holt, have set new standards, proving the sky's the limit!

Saying goodbye isn't easy, as we honored Deputy Chief Greg Collins for 30 stellar years of service with our fire department. His legacy of resilience and progress will continue to inspire.

Skateboards ready, folks? We're amping up the fun with a skateboarding event at the Science Center! Expect high-energy action, delicious treats, and community vibes. We're committed to making Monroe a skater's haven, so cruise by and join the fun!

Last week's Holy Week fostered deep reflection and celebration as we embraced Easter's essence—the hope, renewal, and vibrant life it brings. Our downtown is buzzing, and supporting local businesses keeps this energy alive.

Mark your calendars for May 1st for the National Day of Prayer. Gather at our outdoor mall to pray for peace and prosperity, it's a beautiful way to unite in faith.
