City of Shepherd just kicked off a major milestone — and it’s all about strengthening our community’s future.
City staff, City Engineer Jed Morris of GLS, and Grant Administrator Ray Vann sat down with two companies for an important Pre Construction Meeting. Why does this matter? Because Shepherd is gearing up for two major Water System Improvement projects, funded by grant dollars that will bring upgrades to our city’s infrastructure.
This is the kind of behind the scenes progress that leads to real change: increased water capacity, stronger systems, and a better quality of life for everyone who calls Shepherd home. Big things are on the way — and this meeting was a step toward making them happen.

Mayor Charles Minton has ordered the City Flag to be lowered in honor of the Charles and Debbi Murray family, recognizing their unwavering dedication to our community through their service as First Responders and their countless volunteer hours as members and leaders of the Shepherd Volunteer Fire Department.
We acknowledge the profound loss of these outstanding citizens and extend our heartfelt condolences to their family, friends, and all who were touched by their commitment and compassion.
