ENTERPRISE, Ala. (WDNews) – Mayor William E. Cooper was thrilled to welcome Senator Katie Britt back to her hometown of Enterprise on Wednesday to discuss the city’s priorities.
“It’s good to be home,” Britt said after the 45-minute meeting at the Enterprise Civic Center. “Obviously, one of the things I am most proud of is being from Enterprise.”
Mayor Cooper and City Administrator Jonathan Tullos met with Senator Britt and her staff to update them on city projects and explore potential partnerships for new initiatives.
“Enterprise continues to live up to its name as the City of Progress. There are incredible things happening here,” Britt noted.
The Junior Senator from Alabama also visited Dothan on Tuesday, meeting with Mayor Mark Saliba.
“We are really fortunate in the Wiregrass to have thoughtful, visionary leaders, and that was very clear in my meetings both yesterday and today,” Britt said. “The leadership here is being thoughtful, inclusive, and diligent about not just what is good for today, but how they can continue to create a space for people to thrive into the future.”
During the meeting, Mayor Cooper presented Britt with a mayoral challenge coin, expressing his pride in her accomplishments and her representation of the Wiregrass area.
“I had a chance to see her grow up. I’ve watched her in the school system when she was a cheerleader, a member of student government, and now, our U.S. Senator,” Cooper said. “I am proud to see that she is doing a wonderful job and is looking out for the Wiregrass. This has been a great day for Enterprise, for her to come back home.”
With a smile, Britt agreed, “It’s just so good to be home!”
