MESSAGE from the MAYOR

Hello O-Town! I am so excited to serve you in my first term as mayor! We are lucky to be able to call Owatonna our home with its abundant natural resources, well-planned growth and community members dedicated to making our city a great place in which to live, do business and have fun. The strong work ethic and dedication that is shown across our community are exactly the reasons why Owatonna is thriving.

For generations, decisions have been made by City leaders to preserve natural areas while managing forward-looking growth to provide the best of all worlds. Whether you enjoy history, nature, shopping, arts and entertainment or taking advantage of our parks, athletic facilities or outdoor amenities, Owatonna really does have it all!

This guide is filled with programs, amenities and information about how to enjoy all the aspects of being part of the O-Town community. I hope to see you soon on a trail, in a park, at a City Council meeting, grabbing a bite to eat or doing some shopping right here in Owatonna!

Make it a great day!
