JoAnn Bennett Grimsley
Mayor of Midland City, AL
Greetings and Welcome to
The City of Midland City – 2025
On behalf of myself, JoAnn Bennett Grimsley and the entire City Council Members; I extend a warm friendly welcome to all our citizens, visitors, family and friends.
I am deeply honored and humbled to once again serve as your mayor. This is the second time I have had the privilege of holding this office. Though the past years have brought change, my gratitude and commitment to our community remains as strong as ever.
When I first served as Mayor, Midland City was in a different chapter of its story. We worked hard to meet challenges head on and built a foundation that helped to move our city forward. Though my previous term in office came to an end, my dedication to our community never wavered. I remained here with you—as a neighbor, a supporter, and someone who believes wholeheartedly in the future of Midland City.
Now, years later, you have placed your trust in me once again. I am grateful for this renewed opportunity to lead, and to work side by side with each of you. This term is a renewal of purpose. It is proof that leadership is not about position, but about service. It is a reminder that progress doesn’t belong to anyone’s administration, but to the people who call this city home.
As we begin this new chapter together, my commitment is clear:
- To build on the success of the past
- To bring fresh energy and new solutions to today’s challenges
- To uplift every neighborhood, every family, and every voice in Midland City
- To lead with transparency, integrity, and unwavering dedication.
I welcome each of you to this new beginning, not just for me as mayor, but for all of us as one community working toward a common goal. Let us move forward together with unity, hope, and determination. Thank you for your trust, your support, and your belief in what we can accomplish working together.
I am honored to serve you once again. Welcome to a new term of progress, partnership, and possibility.
JoAnn Grimsley, Mayor
