Welcome from Mayor Leonard E. Ferguson
Welcome to the City of Salem! We are understandably proud of our community, its businesses, industries, and churches, as well as the outstanding educational and cultural programs available to all of our residents and guests.
It is easy to see when one takes a look at Salem why it is often compared with cities twice its size. Growth trends emphasize its desirability as a family location; educational excellence is attributed to the number of above average students; medical facilities reach beyond the norm in service and quality; and recreational opportunities allow the pursuit of any activity or sport during leisure time.
We strive to have an "open" city government. We welcome your interest, your ideas, and your participation on City Boards and Commissions.
Again, welcome to Salem, Illinois.
Sincerely,
Mayor Leonard E. Ferguson
