LIMA, Ohio (WLIO) - Government working at the speed of need is at the top of Lima Mayor Sharetta Smith's second term in office.
More than one hundred of her supporters joined her as they walked together to the Lima Veterans Memorial Civic Center for her oath of office given by Lima Municipal Judge Tammie Hursh with Smith’s daughter by her side. She spoke to her supporters about what they have accomplished in her first term with the Better Together Plan. They brought in 600-million dollars in both residential and commercial permits, demolished more than 300- buildings, and continue to work to make the city better.
“The next four years will be about doubling down on our agenda and making sure that Lima is a place of promise, that it’s a place where you can work a job that earns enough for you can take care of your family, that you can purchase a home if you so choose,” said Mayor Sharetta Smith, “and that we're going to all work hard together to ensure that our city continues to stay safe and crime continues to go down.”
Smith assures residents that they will continue to be a responsive government moving to meet residents’ needs and improve the quality of life in Lima. Two major projects mentioned in the next four years will be redevelopment plans for the old VFW and River Front One properties.
