DEAR RESIDENTS OF THE LEWISTON COMMUNITY, .
As the seasons change and crisp autumn air gives way to winter?s chill, Lewiston is bustling with activity, opportunity, and community spirit. This edition of Living Lewiston is filled with resources, stories, and tips to keep you safe, informed, and engaged in the months ahead.
Our Police and Fire Departments share important reminders for celebrating Halloween and Thanksgiving safely? because nothing is more important than protecting our loved ones and neighbors. You will also find timely information on how our street sweeping program helps keep leaves and other debris from blocking storm drains, an essential step in protecting our neighborhoods from flooding and keeping our waterways clean. Make sure to read the story of a local business owner who has chosen to expand right here in Lewiston. Her story is a testament to the opportunities our city offers and the strong sense of community that makes Lewiston such a great place to live, work, and grow.
Looking ahead, November 4, 2025, marks an important election for our city government and city infrastructure. Participating in our democratic process is one of the most direct ways you can shape the future of our city. I encourage each of you to register to vote, learn about the issues, and make your voice heard. Finally, I invite you to get involved in our community beyond the ballot box? whether it is volunteering for a city board or commission, lending a hand at a local event, or supporting a neighbor in need. Together, we can keep Lewiston a safe, vibrant, and welcoming place for all. I sincerely thank the people of Lewiston for the privilege of serving as their mayor. It is an honor to work alongside you, listen to your ideas, and celebrate our city?s successes together. Lewiston?s greatest strength is its people, and I am grateful every day for the trust you have placed in me.
Wishing you a safe, joyful, and meaningful fall and winter season.
D an J ohnson Mayor of Lewiston
