The City of Wabash, Indiana

Mayor's Vision:

To diversify the City culturally, educationally, and economically.  Taking trips to foreign lands to seek investment opportunities in Waash and putting our current industry on display in those countries to expose export opportunities.  Working closely with the business and educational facilities to expose them to the world and the world to them, which leads to the Mayor's tagline of "Exposing Wabash to the World and the World to Wabash."

The Mayor’s office, located within City Hall, is often the first point of contact for most city related business.

This office is responsible for the overall coordination of meetings, records and communication between the Mayor and all departments of the City and the general public, as well as management of personnel files for City employees. The Mayor works closely with a variety of state and local businesses and organizations to manage and cultivate City operations and developments. The Mayor maintains a cooperative working relationship with Wabash County government and the town of North Manchester.
