We at the City are saying “so long” and “farewell” to our City Attorney, Stephen Zollinger, as he swings into retirement after over 30 years of dedicated service! 👋 His favorite pastime is definitely found on the green, so we’re sending him off with a “Par-Tee”! The community is invited to help us celebrate his legacy at City Hall’s Council Chambers on Wednesday, February 19th (yes, that’s tomorrow) at 1:00pm. ⛳️ Simultaneously, we’re very excited to welcome Spencer Rammel in Stephen’s stead. We’ll give him a couple days before telling him what big shoes he has to fill. 😉 Please join us in extending a round of congratulations and salutations to these two outstanding men! 👏 #Rexburg #cityattorney #retirement #congratulations #manythanks #FORE🏌️

On January 21st, City Council member, Robert Chambers, presented the 2025 State of the City Address for the Chamber of Commerce's annual event at the BYU-Idaho Taylor Building. Chambers noted "Rexburg is thriving. According to the U.S. Census, our population is steady at 40,000 persons, though internal projects suggest we may be closer to 45,000 residents. Our population has exploded since the advent of BYU-Idaho. Our unique demographic profile reflects the significant influence of the University. With a median age of 21, compared to Idaho’s state median age of 37.8, Rexburg continues to be a vibrant and youthful community." We've shared the full address on our 2025 State of the City page. We invite you there to learn what Rexburg has in store for 2025 and beyond! https://www.rexburg.org/o/cor/page/2025-state-of-the-city-address

Did you know...our Mayor, Jerry Merrill, participated in the Blue Cross Foundation's Mayor's Walking Challenge grant last fall? To do this, he had to walk over 10,000 steps Every Day in October to qualify! In turn, he received a grant for $1,000 that he was able to donate to the non-profit in our community of his choice. He chose the Madison School District to help the middle school purchase new student health and fitness equipment. We're excited to support our local school district with this grant and we're proud of Mayor Merrill for his dedication to the cause! We look forward to all the fun the kids will have with the new gear in the future.
