Ruby Fisher, a passionate advocate for the city, presented the logo with enthusiasm, emphasizing the importance of connecting residents to their history while looking forward to future innovations. “We wanted to celebrate where we are exactly right now, who we are, and where we are going,” she stated, capturing the spirit of the project.

Council members expressed their admiration for the logo, with one remarking on its beauty and the thoughtful inclusion of various elements. The discussion revealed a shared pride in Taylor’s legacy and a collective hope for its future. The council unanimously approved the logo, marking a significant step toward the sesquicentennial celebrations planned for next year.

As the meeting concluded, the excitement in the room was palpable. The new logo not only represents a milestone for Taylor but also serves as a reminder of the community's resilience and unity. With the sesquicentennial just around the corner, residents can look forward to a year filled with celebrations that honor their past while embracing the future.
