Wash hands often
Cough into your elbow
Don’t touch your face
Keep safe distance
Stay at home if you can
Your city government is working for you as usual with just a few minor changes regarding public access to the city hall. Your essential services such as police, fire, city managed garbage pick-up, water and sewer repair and city hall are all working diligently. The man-dated order can be viewed in its entirety on the City of New Hope’s website or Facebook page or you can pick a copy up at the front steps of city hall.

Please stay safe,
Mayor Butch Taylor
