On the front page was a story about “reshaping U.S. 31,” following a plan for redevelopment by the Regional Planning Commission of Greater Birmingham. Stories about former Vestavia Hills High School baseball player Georgie Salem and options for summer swimming were teased on the front page.

In the past 10 years, the newspaper has covered economic redevelopment, city and regional elections, major changes in the school system and more. We’ve featured those who have made a difference in the city, remembered those who have gone on before us and, hopefully, helped strengthen the Vestavia Hills community.

It’s been an honor to be a part of the history of both this paper and the city for almost five years. Here’s to many more years of the Vestavia Voice serving our readers and improving our community.

This month, we get you ready to vote on May 9 in the special election. The vote will determine whether or not the city’s ad valorem property tax increases by 9.8 mills to fund what school system leaders have said are needed improvements to the system's course offerings, facilities and more.

We also celebrate the 40th anniversary of Cahaba Cycles, which started here in Cahaba Heights. Sports Editor Kyle Parmley also features girls’ basketball player Anna Towry, following her outstanding career for the Rebels.

As always, thank you for reading!
