Wade Walker, who has been with the City of Early for 35 years, was recently recognized for his longevity. Wade is the City’s Public Works Operations Manager and started with the City when he was just 19 years old.

“It feels like yesterday. It just doesn’t seem like it was that long ago. I had no intentions of even staying when I started.” said Wade Walker.

He says that he has seen several different people in administration, on City Council, in the mayor’s seat, yet the town has always kept its mindset of growing and providing a hometown feeling for its citizens.
