Welcome to the Internet Web Site of the City of Cumming Georgia. Our ultimate goal is to provide needed information in the areas of utilities, planning, recreation, employment opportunities, law enforcement, festivals, history, future plans, and of course to promote the City of Cumming.

Reflecting upon the 40 continuous years in office as Mayor of the City of Cumming, Ga., I feel honored to have had the opportunity to lead the city during these years of unparalleled growth, change and challenge.

For this administration to view accomplishments in the area of infrastructure and recreation and claim credit for these successes might seem justifiable. However, we fully acknowledge the fact that it had been the cumulative work of all the former Mayors along with their respective Councils, through step-by-step planning that brings our town to the pinnacle of excellence our citizens enjoy today.

With regard to the crisis our nation has recently experienced and the patriotism that has rejuvenated itself, is is encouraging to reflect that the City of Cumming has been mindful of its patriotic duty all along, acknowledging lives that have been lost in the name of liberty, and realizing the significance of the American Flag and the glory it deserves. This is a good town with fine people and I am honored to be Mayor

I would like to thank the Citizens of Cumming and City Employees for their confidence in this administration and on behalf of the entire city council pledge a continued commitment to the success of this town and its people.
