Mayor: Belton Housing Growth, Infrastructure and Trail Update

Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer

Belton Mayor Eleanor Dorn is back at the helm of the city after a challenging year for her family, which concluded with the death of her son. Dorn praised the council and city for their personal support and for helping continue progress in the town while she was largely away from office.

The six months have brought significant movement in new housing in the city and surrounding area, new businesses downtown, successful events and recreation programs and $9.5 million in sewer infrastructure funding. Dorn, who is running unopposed for mayor again in November talked about progress in Belton in this interview with the Anderson Observer.
