“Preparing students for their future careers starts as early as kindergarten, and our schools are developing their curriculums and courses with the needs of potential future employers in mind.”

“I’m very passionate about the downtown revitalization — the momentum here is the heart and soul of our community. We have great community parks and both the Marion Tallgrass Trail and The Palace Theatre are community gems. We’re also blessed with exceptional healthcare and a destination for certain procedures rather than a pit stop.”
– Kenneth Daniel, United Church Homes
“We’re working to develop those events that create community and make Marion a destination. Whatever the interests of our residents are, we’re starting initiatives such as The Farmer’s Market or urban farms that fuel a good atmosphere for small businesses. There are so many groups or organizations to become involved with.”
– Evie Warr-Cummings, Marion Area Planning Commission
