STAY INVOLVED
Edgewood residents, you are the key to a creating and maintaining a vibrant community where our small town lifestyle is a priority. The last few years have shown us that being engaged and working together we can make a difference for our town. We encourage residents to stay involved, volunteer for specific town advisory committees, and continue to share your ideas. Town advisory committees such as Parks & Rec, Library, Roads, and Planning & Zoning will all need volunteers. Town Hall meetings will likely be held periodically for the community to give input on a wide variety of topics. Participate, come meet your neighbors, and let’s make Edgewood the best community for today and for tomorrow.

Town Gone Off the Rails!
