Letter: 2023 Holiday greeting from Mayor Johnson
To my fellow Bluffton residents:
The holidays are fast approaching and I would like to take a moment to thank each and every one for your patience and kindness as we dealt with many projects in Bluffton.
I know these projects might have caused a delay in your everyday movement and travels around the community. We made it through these construction projects, some with delays, and some will need to be finalized in the Spring of 2024.
I would like to say thank you for reelecting me as your Mayor for another four years, and also thank you to the Village Council and all Village Employees for their support and their dedication to their professions and a job well done.
We don't know what 2024 or beyond will bring. The world seems to be in such turmoil and we only can hope and pray that things will get better. May we all learn to live together in harmony and love and kindness.
I wish each and everyone of you a warm and joyful Merry Christmas and a very Happy and Healthy New Year.
Mayor Rich Johnson
