Public Services

Ball Ground's city government is going through some very big changes. Long-term leaders, who accomplished fantastic things for our town, have recently retired. A bypass to downtown is in planning and will begin construction in the next several years — a transformative event for the City. At the same time, residential growth across the region is putting pressure on roads and other infrastructure and raising concerns about maintaining the quality of life here.

We can navigate these changes and direct growth and development to retain all the best parts of living in Ball Ground, while keeping it a welcoming and inviting place for everyone. But that won't happen if we simply react to things as they happen — we urgently need to start looking ahead and planning for 3, 10, and 20 years out.

Calls for long-term planning to direct growth and development while preserving Ball Ground's quality of life.
