The city of Red Bay once again received big news this week – the city is in excellent financial condition.

Many towns across the country are struggling in this economy but Red Bay continues to thrive.

There are many reasons why this is the case, but a couple of reasons are because of good management and a sense of self-sustainability within the community that many areas lack.

Red Bay is one of the most self-sufficient towns in the region and is able to keep many of their residents at home to do their shopping.

The city council learned this week that the city collected

$777,325 more than they spent in the past fiscal year. That is incredible for a town its size.

Red Bay officials and citizens should be proud. The future looks brighter every day.
