GENERAL INFORMATION
Hello Neighbors,
Let me begin by congratulating all the Independence students who will be
graduating from high school or college. Graduation marks the start of a new
chapter in people’s lives. Considering the past two years and the
unprecedented upheaval caused by the pandemic, your graduation is an
accomplishment that deserves special recognition.
Get ready for the City’s first Recycling Day (formerly known as Shred Day) on Saturday, May 7.
Residents will be able to drive up and drop off everything from furniture, electronics, aluminum cans,
old flags, and books, to eyeglasses, household hazardous waste, and more. You can find more
information on page 8.
I am pleased to announce that the City’s Memorial Day Services and Procession from Public Square to
Maple Shade Cemetery will be held on Monday, May 30. Drug Mart will again host a Hot Dog Cookout
to benefit the Independence High School Marching Band, which will be performing on-site.
Community Services is switching things up this summer. They are moving the Summer Concert Series
and the Farmer’s Market to Friday nights on Public Square. Check out the schedule on page 9.
I wish everyone a healthy and happy summer filled with sunny skies, reasons to celebrate, and peace.
Mayor Gregory Kurtz and the Civic Center Team
