Marshall Mayor Bob Byrnes talks about the state of the city.
MARSHALL Â The last time Mayor Bob Byrnes and city administrator Sharon Hanson were on stage to talk about the state of Marshall, it was just before the COVID-19 pandemic kicked off a year of major changes for the community.
On Wednesday, the pandemic still hung over the discussion at the 2021 State of the City Address, as Byrnes and Hanson talked about how it has affected Marshall’s economy and public health.
“With COVID, fortunately or unfortunately, it really did connect us with the rest of the globe,” Hanson said.
