In 2018, Downtown Whitewater, Inc. designed and printed new light pole banners for the downtown area. It was a unanimous decision by the board of directors to put into production something that was different from logo-based ones of the past.

As a result of the problem Art Coleman had filing his Statement of Economic Interests, he will not be on the ballot, and Whitewater will not have a February primary.

Congratulations to all Whitewater Middle School students that submitted work for this year’s Southern Lakes Anthology competition.
