Welcome to McKenzie's new Website. Commissioned as a way to enhance communication between the city and its citizens, we hope you will find it is both enjoyable and informative, as well as an effective tool for communication.

     We recognize that our best asset is our citizens and appreciate the diversity we enjoy within our community. With that in mind we wanted to create a site molded by the people, in order to truly reflect our populace. Citizens are encouraged to submit information and photos for the site so that we all benefit from the knowledge of many.

     We have a lot to be thankful for and proud of in McKenzie: our businesses and industries, civic organizations, schools--including our local school system, Tennessee Technology Center, and Bethel College--our good roads and airport, and many fine facilities.

    Frequently, we receive e-mails from people looking for a new hometown. Our new Website allows them to get to know us better, and provides a way for them to interact with us on a personal level.

    Other folks have moved away but like to keep tabs on their hometown. We encourage them to make themselves at home in our shared place on the Internet.

    If your thoughts spill over to more than you might submit for inclusion on our pages, please make use of the Town Blogger, where you can join in a conversation or start your own topic.

    We hope you enjoy your new Web site. Thank you for your interest in your city.

Sincerely,

Walter Winchester
Mayor of McKenzie
