Message from Mayor Walker


June is a time when many families, visitors, and residents spend more time enjoying everything Perry has to offer. From our parks and downtown businesses to community events and summer activities. This season highlights the energy and connection that make our city unique.


I encourage everyone to continue supporting local businesses throughout the summer. Small businesses play an important role in shaping the character of our community, and every visit, purchase, and shared recommendation helps strengthen Perry’s local economy.


As always, thank you for your continued involvement and pride in our community. Perry continues to grow because of the people who choose to invest their time, support, and energy here every day.


Mayor Randall Walker
