Clean environments are good for business. Angola does a lot to ensure that all waterways are clean, doing studies on the local aquifers and underground water. The mayor is about to retire after 22 years of service, but he is confident that the city will grow in strength and is incredibly enthusiastic about the future. He is also thankful for the entire community as he concludes, “We are blessed with all our employees. I haven’t dug a hole or fixed a sewer pipe in the middle of a snowstorm. That’s our community.
