Letter from the Mayor: April 2025

April 1, 2025

Dear Nixa Residents,

As spring blooms across our beautiful city, I’m pleased to share some exciting updates and important information with you this month.

Progress on Capital Improvement Projects

I’m happy to report that we’re making significant progress on multiple capital improvement projects within Public Works. Our teams have already begun work on street, water, sewer, and stormwater projects throughout the city. I’m pleased to share that these vital infrastructure improvements are currently on time and on budget. Your patience during construction is greatly appreciated as we work to enhance our city’s infrastructure.

McCauley Park Splash Pad Opening Soon!

One development I’m particularly excited about is the new splash pad at McCauley Park! We’ve just ordered the final benches and tables for this wonderful addition that will be completely free to the public. This splash pad will provide a fun way for families to cool off during our hot summer months, and we can’t wait to announce the official opening date soon.

Important April Parks & Recreation Dates

Mark your calendars for these important Parks & Recreation events:

• April 9th – Open interviews for summer jobs at the park. This is a great opportunity for our young residents looking for seasonal employment!

• April 12th – Volunteer Days at the park. Please come help us keep our parks beautiful as we prepare for the busy summer season.

• April 19th – Our annual Easter Egg Hunt! Bring your little ones for this beloved community tradition.

Spring Severe Weather Preparedness

As we enjoy the beauty of spring, I want to urge everyone to take necessary precautions for potential severe weather. Please ensure you have working weather radios, emergency kits, and a family safety plan in place. Our city emergency management team will continue to do everything possible to keep our community informed and safe if severe weather affects Nixa.

Looking Ahead

As we prepare for the summer months, I encourage everyone to take advantage of the amazing things spring has to offer in our community. From our parks to our local businesses, there’s so much to enjoy in Nixa this time of year.

As always, it’s an honor to serve as your mayor. If you have questions, concerns, or ideas, please don’t hesitate to reach out to City Hall.

Wishing you a wonderful April,

Mayor Jarad Giddens
