Community Unity: Highlights from Blacksville’s First Listening Session

The Blacksville community showed up and showed out during their first listening session!

The room was absolutely packed, neighbors, families, longtime residents, new faces, and even citizens from outside Blacksville who simply care. It truly felt like a family reunion.

We also had the mayor-elect, council members, commissioners, and state representatives in attendance.

I am so grateful for this community that has embraced me, attended my Local Government 101 sessions, and adopted me as one of their own.

What I appreciate most about Blacksville is the authenticity, transparency, and genuine willingness to work together. I’ve never been treated like an outsider here, and that means everything.

Blacksville, y’all rock.

Let’s keep building a better McDonough, together!
