officer of Bayberry Inc. “Alex was tremendous. He was great with everyone.”

“We really appreciate organizations like Bayberry Inc. that not only provide a tremendous service to the community with the work they do, but also for the civic pride they show in giving back to the city. We look forward to working with them again next year,” said City Manager Greg Folsom.
