Education represents another critical partnership area. While Millbrook does not operate its own school system, it maintains close ties with the countywide educational infrastructure that serves its growing population of families. “Our schools are under a countywide school system. Our relationship is very good with the individual schools, the principals and the leadership,” Harper explains.“Our high school is one of the largest high school’s in the county, which just shows people are coming to live here. A good school system is very important because these kids are our future. Our challenge is we want these kids to get educated and stay in our county and be productive citizens.” Looking ahead to the next two years, city leadership has identified clear priorities centered on completing major development initiatives while preserving community character. “In two years, certainly 17 Springs and the Marketplace at 17 Springs will be complete. I would like to see momentum in the downtown area, and I think that’s on the horizon,” Peters says.“The Highway 14 corridor is going to continue to expand. I want to see these partnerships we have now continue to grow and blossom. I envision growth in all directions for Millbrook, balancing that with working to keep that small-town feel for the native residents while welcoming others who want this kind of lifestyle.” 164 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 06
