Pella Mayor Don DeWaard completed his first year as mayor, and heads into year two with hopes that 2021 will be a smoother ride for the community. DeWaard says he couldn’t anticipate what he’d have to go through when he was elected in November 2019, and he’s thankful for the support of city administration and staff as they have adjusted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, he says the city is in a strong financial position to rebound into several major projects and to continue growth made possible by ongoing housing developments.
