The City of Douglas hosted its quarterly Hometown Connection meeting on Wednesday, October 11, 2017, at Central Square Complex. The purpose of the Douglas Hometown Connection is to create, identify, and give reference to the challenges and
opportunities facing our city.
“It is important for us to stay connected to not only local government and development agencies, but also with our state legislators”, says Terrell Jacobs, City Manager. “We are open with sharing what our city is doing so that others can better understand and appreciate our achievements and challenges”.
