Longview Leaders Plan for Future

LONGVIEW — The Longview City Council and city leaders met Tuesday to discuss current and future issues for the city. No action was taken, but a wide variety of business was covered, from South Longview revitalization efforts to the animal shelter and a hotel/motel tax increase. Mayor Jay Dean tells KETK it was a great chance to see what the city needs and wants. Dean says, “As a city, we try to not spend more money than we take in — and so, in order to do that in the economic days that we live in, we need to make sure that we properly plan and budget.” Dean added that the meeting was a big success, and some council members talked about adding another session later on this year.
