Mayor’s Message

Progress on Historic Building Renovations

Hello Murray neighbors!

Hope you’re all doing well. It seems like just yesterday I was out throwing this spring’s first pitch for the Murray Liberty League (and so relieved it made it over the plate!). Seeing the joy on those kiddos’ faces reminds me why we do what we do here in Murray. It’s all about community and looking out for each other.

Which brings me to something my wife Cindy and I talk about often and something I truly believe in: our city’s “Love, Murray” campaign. It’s not just a slogan; it’s also about how we treat each other every single day. You hear me say it a lot, “Be kind!” and this campaign is the heart of that message.

You may be asking what is “Love, Murray”? Well, it’s the name we have to cover all of the great things coming to our community this summer. And how about these great additions for our community? We’ve got the Murray Museum that just opened May 2nd telling our city’s stories, the Murray Armory opening this June for all your special events, and I know everyone’s looking forward to the Murray Theater this fall! We invested in these wonderful places because they bring us together, improve life here, and just make Murray an even better place to call home.

“Love, Murray” is also about the simple things. It’s maybe grabbing lunch at a great local spot. It’s cheering on our local teams, whether it’s the Spartans or the Colts! It’s checking in on a neighbor, offering an encouraging word, or just smiling at someone you pass on the street. From the great work our Murray Youth Community Council did on the Theater mural to the banners you see around town, it’s all shouting ‘Love Murray’! And we want you to know that Murray, this wonderful community, loves having you right here with us! You can be part of it and sign up for updates at www.lovemurray.com.

So, I’m asking you, let’s all make an extra effort to show our “Love, Murray.” Support our fantastic local businesses. Celebrate the successes of our neighbors and our kids. Offer a helping hand where you can. Let’s make sure everyone in our city feels seen, valued, and loved. It’s truly one of the easiest things we can do, and it’s what makes Murray such a special place to live. Love, Murray Mayor Brett Hales
