community-first development—offers a compelling blueprint for rural towns across America. “We want people to understand that rural doesn’t mean behind,” Mayor Owens says.“It means potential. It means community. And it means opportunity—if you’re willing to work for it.” That ethos is echoed in every initiative emerging from City Hall, from the airport to the classroom, the community kitchen to the GED classroom. It’s clear Camilla is not simply trying to survive as a small town—it’s striving to thrive. And thanks to visionary leadership, strong partnerships, and unwavering dedication to its citizens, Camilla is well on its way. “We’re building the future right here in Camilla,” Mayor Owens concludes.“One student, one business, one innovation at a time.” 8 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 07
