🕵️ Pssst... Can you keep a secret?
We're looking for a Planning & Zoning Administrative Assistant! This role is part administrative superhero, part organizational wizard, and just a tiny bit secret agent. 🕶️
As part of the Planning & Zoning team, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at future businesses, neighborhoods, developments, and projects that will help shape Rexburg's future. Many of those plans are confidential until they're ready to be announced, so discretion isn't just appreciated...it's part of the job.

📂 Keep the department organized with schedules, records, permits, and day-to-day administrative tasks.
🏛️ Help coordinate and share information for the bi-weekly Planning & Zoning Committee meetings.
🤫 Handle confidential information with professionalism and integrity.
🏙️ Help support the thoughtful growth and future of Rexburg.
If you're organized, dependable, detail-oriented, and love knowing what's happening before almost anyone else, this could be your perfect fit.
⏳ But don't wait! Applications close this Friday, July 10.
Apply today and join Team Rexburg as we help develop the future of our community!

🚨 BREAKING: We're giving Rexburg's water tower a new look!

Annnd we're snagging a little nostalgia from our neighbors to the south...for about 20 seconds. 😏

Because we're only borrowing the iconic red-and-white color scheme for social media tricks.

Rexburg's water tower really is getting a fresh coat of paint, but the final design will feature a clean white finish with our updated Rexburg branding.

Disclaimer: The only thing painted red and white here is our imagination. ❤️🤍

As you tackle lawn care and yard projects this season, please remember that grass clippings, leaves, branches, and other yard waste should not be placed in City sanitation containers. While it may seem harmless, it’s a big safety risk for our crews.

Yard debris has caused literal trash fires in our sanitation trucks. It also damages equipment and can lead to delayed service.
Please compost yard waste at home or take it to the Madison County Transfer Station at the end of Airport Road. Some private yard service companies also offer debris pickup services as an alternative solution.

Safety is one of our top priorities for both our community and our employees.
We appreciate your help in keeping sanitation services running smoothly. Thank you for doing your part to keep Rexburg safe and clean!

NOTE: No actual sanitation trucks were harmed in the making of this image. 🖥️

It started here.

On June 5, 1976, the Teton Dam failed, sending billions of gallons of water racing through the valley below.

In a matter of hours, lives changed forever.

For many in Southeast Idaho, this image is more than a photograph. It is a moment frozen in time. A reminder of loss, uncertainty, and the strength that followed.

As we approach the 50th anniversary of the Teton Dam Flood, we remember those who lived through it, those who helped rebuild, and the legacy they left behind.
And we remember that some moments shape a community in more ways than one.

Flood 50 begins tomorrow, June 1.

The floodwaters arrived in hours.
The recovery began immediately.

Schools, churches, community centers, and gathering places became shelters. Neighbors checked on neighbors. Volunteers served meals. Strangers shared space, supplies, and support.

When people remember the Teton Dam Flood, they don't forget the devastation.
But what they hold on to is the hope that was built by a community led by kindness.

Fifty years later, we recognize the 80 billion gallons of water that roared through the region, but we honor the people who lifted each other in a time of need.

Flood 50 begins June 1.

Some stories are remembered because they changed history.
Others are remembered because they changed people.
