When Mayor David McDavid decided to swap his morning espresso shots for decaf, little did he know it would be the least surprising change of his first mayoral year. Our fireside chat with him is more than just a cozy conversation—it's a treasure trove of heartfelt anecdotes and city updates that will leave you feeling like an insider in the world of Zachary politics. Mayor McDavid candidly reminisces about his high school "could-have-beens," gets personal about his son's softball strategy, and gives us the skinny on a peculiar find beneath a local residence. Learn about his enthusiasm for the city's Must Luv Dogs parade event and more—like a potential Zachary Mardi Gras parade.
The pulse of Zachary beats strong, thanks to initiatives like the extensive road rehabilitation and the exciting hire of Ashleigh McHugh as economic development director. As Brandie Triche redefines city operations with fresh ideas, we look ahead to the potential of downtown trolley services and baseball and softball leagues for children with special needs. The city's blueprint for growth, embellished with community engagement and collaborative regional efforts, paints a future both promising and inclusive. Joining Mayor McDavid, we unpack these tales, from the master plan's vision to the triumphs of the Firecrackers cheerleading team, all while marking the milestones that define our city on the move.
