CURRENT PROJECTS

Along with the annual events that are sponsored by the Friends of Semmes, our members also work on special projects that are beneficial to the community.   Currently a group of members are working on the incorporation effort. 

The process for incorporation is extensive and requires a great deal of effort and commitment on the part of Semmes residents.  

Incorporation is important to protect the character of our Semmes Community and allow residents to have a voice in the growth, future and quality of life in Semmes. 

The Incorporation of Semmes will enable the community to have a stake in its own future.  Many residents of Semmes have lived here for many generations because they enjoy the quality of life, the land and the community closeness.  

As a city, the residents of Semmes can have a voice in decisions involving development and land use, public services, public safety, traffic management, parks and recreation, planning, regulation and historic preservation of our community.  We will be able to preserve the character of Semmes and its history. The City of Semmes will also have a strong voice in the County. 

The necessary steps are now being made to bring the matter of incorporation of the City of Semmes before the voters.
