Mayor marvels at his city’s resiliency
In the 19th century common was the creation of towns bi-sected by the railroad. Seneca and Westminster are among the examples. But a fact of 21st century life is that, while the trains continue to roll, some small towns along railroads have practically died. Westminster is an example of a town that continues to exude vitality. And, for that, the city’s second-year mayor credits the citizenry. Mayor Brian Ramey spoke to 101.7/WGOG NEWS during the city’s 142nd birthday celebration Friday evening the Westminster Music Center. “The hard-working diligence that these people had is why Westminster is still here,” Ramey said referring to Westminster residents and their fore-fathers.
