As Mayor <strong>of</strong> <strong>Ottawa</strong> since 1999, I have had the pleasure <strong>of</strong> seeing first-hand the business spirit flourish and the<br />
pride in our beautiful and historic city blossom. Located in the heart <strong>of</strong> starved Rock Country, <strong>Ottawa</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers an ideal setting<br />
for business and entrepreneurial ventures, an enviable quality <strong>of</strong> life for residents, and a delightful get-away experience for<br />
visitors.<br />
<strong>Ottawa</strong> recently won the national “America in Bloom” championship award, and when you visit you’ll see<br />
why. Our lush landscaping, historic buildings and larger-than-life murals provide a beautiful backdrop for enjoyable downtown<br />
shopping in one-<strong>of</strong>-a-kind stores. Shops ranging from shabby chic to the elite boutique <strong>of</strong>fer unique treasures. And, with<br />
exceptional quality dining options, it ALL makes for a truly fantastic experience.<br />
“What an exciting time<br />
it is to be a part <strong>of</strong> this<br />
great community!”<br />
~ Mayor Eschbach
