e’ve said this before but it remains true – so much is 2016 NEW ALBANY CITY COUNCIL (l. to r.) Marlene Brisk, Matt Shull, Dr. Glyde Marsh, Mayor Sloan Spalding, made of our architectural Mike Durik, Colleen Briscoe, Chip Fellows standards, master planning and rural character, but our real success lies in the people who call New Albany home. They are entrepreneurial, aspirational and generous with their time. They serve on city boards or commissions, help with youth organizations, volunteer at school, coordinate clean-up crews to help keep New Albany beautiful, and some even donated pictures for this report. To all of you who gave back to New Albany in some way, thanks very much for your service. Speaking of thanking people who have had a positive impact on our community, two long-time City Council members retired in 2016. Mike Mott and Steve Pleasnick served on City Council a combined 40 years. When Mike and Steve were first elected, there was no McCoy Center, no Market Square, no connected trail system, no Heit Center, and no business park. Today, we are recognized as America’s best suburb with one of the largest master planned office parks in the Midwest and a very high quality of life. Their commitment to master planning in all facets of our community helped Mike Mott Steve Pleasnick make yesterday’s vision for New Albany a reality today.
