City and LOPD Named Non-Profit of the Year: Last month, the City of Lake Ozark and Lake Ozark Police Department were honored to be named the 2025 Lake Area Chamber of Commerce Non-Profit of the Year.Over 200 lake area business owners and community members were present to vote on this award and others, and we are grateful for the recognition given by the community we serve. Of this award, City Administrator Harrison Fry stated, "This is the result of years' worth of intentional effort to continue finding ways to better serve our community and the folks who come visit every year. Through the summer, the men and women of LOPD have a tough task in front of them but they are supported every step of the way by our mayor and aldermen, and the members of this community we call home."
That was the year that was. Yes, it certainly was. The year 2020 started out with great expectations among most of us, especially the lake-area communities that continued to enjoy revenue increases. There was hope that there would be moderate growth to welcome the 2020s. For a complete review of 2020 for the City of Lake Ozark, click on:
