Welcome to the Mayor's Blog

On behalf of the citizens of Windom, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our community.

Windom is a progressive community that delivers big city services with a small town feel. Businesses such as agriculture, manufacturing, financial institutions and elder care facilities are our main employers. WindomNet, our “fiber to the home” city owned telecommunications system, has been in operation for nearly two years now and continues to show solid growth. Telecommunications infrastructure is the future – We are able to deliver the future right now!

Our website has been completely rebuilt. We have put considerable thought into how this website can best serve our citizens, visitors, businesses and potential new businesses. We have placed an emphasis on making as much of our city services available online as possible. You will be able to get information and forms concerning youth activities, signing up for city services, including WindomNet, as well as job postings and city ordinances. You can even nominate a citizen for the Mayor’s Medal of Honor, online. City Council agendas and meeting minutes will all be available, allowing citizens to become more involved in the management of our city. I will be making use of my Mayor’s BLOG to try to keep our citizens up-to-date on city business.

While you are in Windom take advantage of our outstanding park system, swimming pool, community center and school activities. Our local Chamber of Commerce hosts several events throughout the year, including RiverFest. These are just a few of Windom’s attractions. We hope you will take a little time to explore all aspects of our community.

I want to thank you for your interest in the City of Windom, if you have any comments or concerns feel free to contact me at WindomMayor@windomnet.com.
Once again, Welcome to Windom!

Mayor Tom Riordan
