HOME SWEET HOME

For David and Mary Stooksbury and many others, The Village at Germantown is more than a new address: it’s a community of friends who believe that life is what you make it. It’s designed to meet needs, exceed expectations and bring new meaning to retirement living… all while enjoying an upscale lifestyle and endless amenities.

The time is now… the place is here.

FROM THE Mayor AND CHAMBER President

Dear neighbors,

First, we want to wish you a happy new year! We hope you and your family experience much joy and many blessings in 2023.

Many people set resolutions at the beginning of each year. Here in your City and at the Chamber of Commerce, employees remain steadfast in their constant resolve to ensure that Germantown is the community of choice, a place you’re proud to call home and a city that exemplifies excellence, every day.

As 2023 begins, we reflect and realize that we’re thankful for so many things that make Germantown an exceptional community, particularly as we continue to develop and grow. Here are just a few of those things:

• We have big-city shopping amenities while our City maintains a quiet, neighborhood feel throughout the day. Here, you can practically meet all of your major shopping needs without leaving our City’s limits.

• Germantown Performing Arts Center, The Grove, Germantown Community Theatre and many fine dining choices lend themselves to an exceptional and fun local date night.

• While you’re shopping and dining here, your tax dollars also stay local, where we invest them in public safety and other key City services.

• Public safety remains the top priority here in Germantown as we work to bring even more resources to keep our residents, shoppers, visitors and guests safe and secure.

• We’re welcoming several new and planned developments that provide mixed-use, office, retail and several traditional residential elements, adding new and vibrant communities to our City.

To that final point, this issue centers around the topic of development and the extent to which Germantown is growing and thriving. We’re so proud of the progress we’re continuing to make. In these pages, you’ll find stories about the City’s planning division, new developments underway, winners of the Chamber’s annual awards and much more. We hope you enjoy reading this issue as much as our team enjoyed producing it.
