We are excited to share some updates and upcoming events happening in West Concord! Our ongoing efforts to strengthen partnerships with local organizations, county, and state offices continue to bring new opportunities to improve services and secure grants to support our goals.
Spring Fling & City-Wide Clean-Up Day: Our dedicated local non-profits have planned the 4th Annual Spring Fling fundraiser on Saturday, May 10, 2025, from 4 PM to 7 PM. In conjunction with this, the City will host the 4th Annual City-Wide Clean-Up Day from 8 AM to 11 AM. We encourage everyone to continue beautifying their properties to help keep our community looking its best.
Tree Planting Event: Join us for Tree Planting on the morning of Saturday, April 26 beginning at 8am. Thanks to the "Protect Community Forests by Managing Ash for Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Grant" from the MN DNR, we will plant 50+ trees in public spaces to replace EAB-infected trees and enhance green spaces. Volunteers are welcome! Contact City Hall to sign up so we can provide the necessary materials and refreshments.
City Compost Site: The City Compost Site will be open daily again this year to assist with your yard clean-up efforts. Residents will need a permit, available for purchase at City Hall for $15. This fee helps maintain the site for continued use.
Facility Rentals: Residents can rent the Bell Tower Center (401 Main Street), an ideal venue for graduation parties, family gatherings, and weddings. Outdoor options include the park shelters. For rental inquiries, please contact City Hall. Additional rental options include the West Concord American Legion & West Concord Historical Society. Contact them directly for more information.
Library & Pool: We encourage everyone to take advantage of our community's library and swimming pool. Both offer wonderful opportunities for family fun and enrichment. Summer programs are available at the library, and swimming lessons are offered at the pool. Early bird pool passes are available at City Hall until June 11th at a reduced rate.
Stay Connected: For immediate concerns or questions, City Hall is open Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM. You can reach us at 507-527-2668. If you have additional concerns, suggestions, or wish to discuss ideas for improving our community, please feel free to email me directly at wcmayor@yahoo.com or leave a message at City Hall.
We encourage everyone to participate in City Council meetings, typically held on the third Thursday of each month at the Bell Tower Center. Updated meeting notices are posted in the City Hall front vestibule, accessible 24/7 and on our website at www.westconcordmn.com.
Together, we can continue to make West Concord a vibrant and welcoming place to live. As our city motto proudly states: "A Proud Heritage, A Bright Future."
