Beaver Dam Mayor Paul Sandefur
A lot has happened in Beaver Dam over the past few years. There have been some major accomplishments that few cities of our size have achieved. A sampling of those accomplishments include:
- A new fire station was constructed.
- Fire equipment was updated including the purchase of a new truck scheduled to be delivered this winter.
- Added a paid, full-time, Beaver Dam Fire Chief for the department.
- Remodeled and enlarged the Beaver Dam Police Station.
- Enlarged the Beaver Dam Police Department to as many as seven full-time officers providing patrols in the city 24/7.
- Worked with the Ohio County Regional Wastewater to stabilize rates for residential and commercial users.
- Worked with a retail consultant to assist local businesses and recruit new businesses to the community.
- Past, present and future revitalization of the downtown business district, the “Front Porch” of the community.
- Established the Beaver Dam Tourism Commission.
- Completed the Beaver Dam Park and added new facilities.
- Completed the Beaver Dam Amphitheater bringing in world-class entertainment and tourism dollars.
- Obtained hundreds of thousands in grant and sponsorship dollars.
- New online bill payment capability is coming this winter.
- Beaver Dam was awarded GRADD “City of the Year” twice.
- Beaver Dam was awarded the Kentucky League of Cities’ “City Government of the Year.”
- Financially sound.
- A group of hard-working, forward-thinking city commissioners!
This is just scratching the surface. There are a lot of plans and projects in the works yet to come. Beaver Dam is in a position to be a major driver of economic and tourism development in the area. I believe continuity is important at this time and I would like to see these plans and projects through to completion. I would appreciate your support and vote.
