Message from Mayor GierischJanuary was a very busy month in the great City of Roanoke. Texas weather is notoriously difficult to predict in the winter months. Our team did an excellent job of helping keep our community safe and warm through several cold weather fronts. We welcomed several new businesses to Roanoke in the month of January. Roanoke continues to boast a strong economy and we look forward to welcoming many more new businesses to Roanoke this in 2024. 2023 was a banner year in Roanoke. I put together an annual recap presentation. Click here to see the presentation and learn more about all of the great things we have planned in 2024. Our website is full of important updates and tips to maintain safety during these hot Texas summer months. Please visit the website, or call any of our talented departments, for assistance. You can also follow our social media pages for up to date information. Links to those pages are: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin, NextDoor. I hope to see you soon enjoying Roanoke's beautiful amenities.
