Thank you from Shana Holt
Dear Mayor McGee,
My mother had an opportunity to come visit me this past weekend. It was the first time she has been here since 2006, before my father’s illness and death. While she was here, I took her all over the city, showing her all the various areas of growth, including The Renaissance and Old Towne.
She asked me to tell you that she was so impressed with the growth and the aesthetic architecture of Ridgeland in less than 3 years. The cleanliness there was obvious to her as well. She loved all the unique shops and major retailers which have located in Ridgeland. In addition, she mentioned several times how nice all the landscaping is all over the city.
I wanted to also pass along my compliments. Since the opening of the most recent bicycle paths, I have noticed so many people in Ridgeland exercising, enjoying the outdoors and working to become healthier. I notice lots of people to and from my trip to Fitness Lady on different days and at various times. Your enthusiasm for biking has really proliferated throughout the city and people seem to really be enjoying the paths, even for walking and running.
After my mom’s trip here, she said she was very encouraged to complete the home improvements she has been trying to take care of on her home and relocate to this area. It means a lot to me for her to be near me now. And because of what the City of Ridgeland offers, she is inspired to get here sooner rather than later.
So thank you for your leadership, your vision and your ability to make our city a place where people are offered so many pleasures and opportunities. Please tell the city employees how much I appreciate all that they do to assist us, to keep us safe and to make Ridgeland a great place to live. Keep up the good work.
