FOCUSING ON COMMUNITY FIRST

“Every human being ought to have a decent place in which to live. I think it’s one of the basic human rights just like freedom of speech and freedom of religion.”

President Jimmy Carter

Starkville’s charm lies in its people, and we must prioritize policies and initiatives that ensure fairness, inclusion, and shared success. From small businesses, to families and students, to those who are low-income or facing homelessness, every voice matters in shaping the future. Let’s continue to build a community where collaboration, compassion, and shared responsibility guide every action.
