Bill Furey - Council person - At-Large

INTRODUCTION
My name is Bill Furey and I would like to thank the residents for giving me the opportunity to serve my 16th year on Twinsburg's City Council.

I will continue to work with Council and the Mayor on ways to save money for our residents. We are constantly working toward cost savings and efficiencies in order  to provide the excellent services our residents have come to expect. I consider it a privilege to serve on Council and please feel free to contact me with any questions in the future.
