IN THE KNOW...

Please come back to this page often for City news and the scoop on Benson!

From City Hall:

Joe Konrad With Governor

On Tuesday, Mayor Konrad, Council Member Levi Johnson, and City Manager Vicki Vivian attended Governor Katie Hobbs’ address to Cochise County sponsored by the Sierra Vista Area Chamber of Commerce.

This provided a wonderful opportunity to communicate with the leadership of our local area as well as our state leaders.
Many rural communities struggle with funding, and at this event, Mayor Konrad had a discussion with Governor Hobbs about the roadblocks we face with our infrastructure and progressing forward.

He also spoke to her about the security of our border, an issue we know is very important to the people of Benson.
We are grateful for the chance to bring to light the concerns of our City to Governor Hobbs and to express our gratitude for her support.
