Welcoming in 2023

As we welcome in 2023, residents of Thermopolis and Hot Springs County have much to be thankful for and some interesting changes in local government to look forward to.

The first week of January, judges will be swearing in our local county and town government officials to serve their future terms.

We have a new county commissioner who will be joining two on the commission who have served for several years. Other reelected county officials will also be swore in next week.

For the Town of Thermopolis, we will have a new Mayor and a new Town Council Member who will be joining three other council members who have several years of service to the town.

We also had new members join other local boards, including the Hot Springs County School District Board of Trustees and the Hot Springs Health District Board.

Recently, members of support staff for the county and town have also announced their departure, including the Administrative Assistant to the Board of County Commissioners, the Assistant to the Mayor/Codes Department and the Town Attorney.

There are some important issues affecting our community that will be discussed and possibly voted on at upcoming county and town meetings.

It might be a great time to consider attending one or several of these open public meetings. As we have in the past, a member of the IR staff will be attending and reporting on these meetings. However, if you have questions or comments, your attendance is critical to have your voice heard.
