Not Resting on Laurels is New Year's Resolution for Mayor

(La Porte, IN) - Many people are coming up with New Year’s resolutions like losing weight.  Here in La Porte, Mayor Tom Dermody has one for himself and members of his administration.  It’s working to achieve just as much, if not more, than 2020.

 

“I’m excited about what our team has been able to accomplish year one but, as I told them, 2021 we start over.  Anything we’ve done in the past no longer counts so enjoy it until January 1st and once that hits 2021 we start over,” Dermody said.  “We have to continue to perform.  Continue to challenge and set high standards so you’re going to see more of the same,” he said.  More specifically, Dermody said the goal for 2021 is to continue striving to make La Porte a place “everyone want to be.” 

 

Among his predictions for 2021 is more new housing development in addition to the new housing already going up at places like New Porte Landing and beside Fish Trap Lake.  Dermody said a continued emphasis on code enforcement and improvements to the aging water and sewer infrastructure getting underway are also on the plate for next year.

 

Dermody, a former state representative for 10 years, is about to enter his second year as mayor.
