Welcome to DELANO
Greetings! As mayor of Delano, I want to welcome
you to our city as a new resident, longtime community
member, or visitor alike. I hope you will find this city on
the river as friendly, vibrant, and community-oriented
as I believe it to be.
Delano’s River Street and Bridge Avenue have seen
some changes in the past few months. Dotted with
restaurants, shops, businesses, breweries, and outdoor
community spaces, downtown. Delano provides
amenities for all ages and encourages a flourishing
sense of community, that will begin to be populated
once again in the Spring weather.
2019 will be an exciting year for our city. New
industries will break ground in the West Metro Business
Park, expanding employment opportunities, guided by
smart local government decisions. County Road 30 will
be improved for ease of travel into town, which allows
new developments to have improved transit. Finally,
our splashpad and concession building will open for
the second season, with a water heater installed. We
will continue to improve amenities to our extensive
parks and recreation system, such as trail improvement
plans.
With new residents joining us, we hope to continue our
welcoming community and to gain more participants
in our community wide events. This year has goals
to continue to improve Delano, and to support our
community.
To the traveler and resident alike, know that you are
welcomed and that this city will always be a place you
can call home.
