“I am happy to say that some of my best childhood memories are from a time I called Greencastle my home. Walking through downtown, visiting the shops, eating great food, riding my bike on the trails, swimming at the pool, and playing at Robe Ann Park. Now with a family of my own, I understand both the importance and great fulfillment from public service. To leave a place better than you found it. It is through my experience I have come to learn the great importance and influence that Planning and Building can have on the general welfare of residents and the future of the community. I have high hopes that through the democratic process and good administrative practices, we can streamline services, provide quality inspections and guidance, protect our beautiful historic downtown, and foster an environment that will aid in managed economic development. I am truly excited and humbled at the opportunity to help make the City of Greencastle a great place for each and every one of us.” - Blaine Rout
