TERRE HAUTE, Ind – On Friday Terre Haute Mayor Duke A Bennett officially announced that he is running for re-election.
“During my entire time in this office we have worked very hard to make Terre Haute a better place. In spite of a significant loss of property tax revenue we have eliminated several fund deficits, have a balanced budget and have still continued to invest in our community. I have great department heads and a city workforce that strives to deliver positive results to our citizens every day” said Bennett.
Completing the wastewater treatment plant upgrade (and eliminating the smell), getting the railroad overpass built at 19th and Margaret, continuing to lower our crime rate, and developing significant working relationships with elected officials at all levels (local, state and federal) that are delivering big results are just some of the key achievements over the past 3 years.
“I am honored to be able to serve this community as mayor and my focus will continue to be on public safety, infrastructure investments, economic development activities and improving the quality of life for our citizens. Terre Haute is experiencing a tremendous amount of positive momentum right now and I would like to keep it going!” Bennett said.
