Clarksville, MO

After years of telling Clarksville’s story and why it needs a flood wall to protect the town and its citizens, Smiley’s efforts — along with fellow members of the Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative (MRCTI) and legislators at the state and federal level — have turned the goal of protecting the community into a reality.

Mayor’s Report to Board

As City Officials, we own the responsibility for making decisions that impact people’s daily lives. In this process, it is crucial that our community is governed in a fair, equitable and just manner. Therefore, we Officials must actively practice respectful communication and behavior. In addition, we must stay strong and committed and strive for an even more positive and inclusive community.

Thoughts from the Mayor

In 2023 a project is underway which is intended to protect a major part of town that has been frequently affected by flooding and thus bringing special attention to this small town engaged in a massive & unique effort.
