In remarks jam-packed with positives, Eureka Springs Mayor Butch Berry praised the support of residents and the confidence of tourists in his annual “State of the City” address.
The speech, a little more than 28 minutes long, opened the regular city council meeting on Monday, Feb. 12, at The Auditorium.
“We’re fortunate that we have a lot of good public servants in our departments and commissions within the city who are really dedicated in providing the best services that they can in the best manner possible,” Berry said before beginning a presentation that highlighted accomplishments by both city departments and commissions during 2023.
Berry also acknowledged the awards the city received during the year, including three trendsetting city awards and a recognition from TripAdvisor.
“We’re really proud of these three trendsetting city of the year awards,” he said. “We were the only city to receive this many awards.
“We also received an award from TripAdvisor, which bestowed Eureka Springs our very first TripAdvisor Choice Award for Best of the Best Destination. TripAdvisor reaches 463 million travelers each month so the exposure … is pretty far reaching.”
Other noteworthy awards in 2023 included “Best Place to Retire” by Southern Living and “The Most Charming Small Town in Arkansas” by HGTV.
“We appreciate the recognition of how other people look at this place we call home, because we know how special it is,” Berry said.
