The Mayor of Perry has announced that he will be seeking

re-election.

Mayor Jimmy Faircloth, who has served as the city’s mayor

for one term, said he would continue to focus on open communication between the

council and the city’s departments, if he is re-elected.

“I think that’s critical,” he stated concerning the need for

transparency in government.

 

Faircloth noted that he has tried to keep the council and

the community “constantly informed” with the happenings of the city.

The Mayor stated that the city has some financial issues,

but “the financial health of the city is better today,” which he said was a

“sign of the times.”

He listed several inherited projects that have been

completed during his term as Mayor to which he gave credit to the city’s

departments and council. Those include the Davis Farm Station and the Ball

Street Extension.

Faircloth said qualifying would be in August. The election

will be in November.
