Joette has a proven track record of making government work for you.
I have had the honor of serving as Moab’s Mayor for the past four years and I am excited about the prospect of continuing this service for another term. I believe my experience and leadership has been a valuable asset to our city and I am committed to building on the progress that we have made together.
City of Moab’s accomplishments under Joette’s leadership:
Infrastructure Projects – Completed
- Kane Creek Boulevard Upgrade – replaced 50+ year old sewer and water lines, included additional hookups for new development, and improved the road with new pavement, landscaping, and night sky lighting for a safer and beautiful street.
