Mayor's Message
As we head toward the Easter weekend, I hope everyone has a safe and happy weekend with time to spend with family and friends.
If you are taking time to head away, travel safe and take care on the roads at this busy time. Take a break from driving and give yourself the time to enjoy the wonderful small towns and big hearted communities during your trip.
There will be plenty to do in Latrobe in the coming weeks. If you are staying local you can support the many small businesses. Supporting local small businesses helps to ensure their success and keeps our local economy strong and diverse.
I hope everyone has a great weekend with family and friends.
