They have changed the lives of many and worked to make the city a better place. We have the privilege of honoring a few individual­s each year that fit that theme and this year is certainly no exception. Each spring, Council members nominate individual­s for the honor of being placed on the City’s “Wall of Fame” located at the Portervill­e Heritage Community Center. These individual­s are celebrated for their service and dedication to the heritage of the community. Join us on March 23 as we recognize our 2018 honorees Richard B.
