Mayor’s Office

Mayor 3Welcome to the official website for the City of Hartselle! Whether you are a longtime resident, a new business owner, or a visitor exploring all that North Alabama has to offer, I am honored to serve as your Mayor and welcome you to our community—The City of Southern Hospitality.

I believe that the strength of Hartselle is found in the deep roots of our "historic charm", "small-town feel" and the commitment of our citizens. As your local government, our purpose is to serve as the primary local governing body responsible for the well-being, safety, and prosperity of everyone who calls Hartselle home.

My vision for Hartselle is to ensure we are consistently recognized as a premier community in North Alabama—a place with exceptional public service, a thriving economic landscape, and an engaged citizenry.

Our mission focuses on four key areas:

1. Delivering High-Quality Essential Services
Our commitment is to provide efficient and effective public safety and infrastructure maintenance to ensure that the foundation of our community is sound and reliable for our families and our industries. Our admired fire and police departments are here to ensure you and your loved ones are safe and secure every day.

2. Fostering Sustainable Growth
By implementing smart, proactive policies and local planning, we seek to attract new businesses and help existing ones thrive. Our goal is to expand local opportunity while protecting the historic character of our town.

3. Governing with Integrity and Transparency
We are committed to maintaining the trust of our citizens through a government that is accessible and accountable. As Mayor, I am committed to operating with financial prudence, ethical decision-making, and open communication.

4. Enriching Community Life
We recognize that the quality of life extends beyond just basic services. We are dedicated to investing in and maintaining our public assets, including Sparkman Park and our downtown areas. These spaces are where our families gather, where community spirit flourishes, and where we build the memories that define Hartselle.

I love Hartselle and am confident in her future. I invite you to join us in this effort. If you are a resident, please engage with your city government. If you are a prospective business, come see why Hartselle is the perfect place to grow.

Thank you for visiting. Together, we will ensure Hartselle remains a premier community that honors its heritage while building a strong tomorrow.
