From the beginning, Mayor Estes’s mission has been to make Reedsburg the most livable city in the state -- a goal that continues to transform the city government’s culture, drive its strategic direction, and build Reedsburg’s reputation as a welcoming center for business, culture, education and outdoor recreation.
