It's been a busy two years for the current mayor of Rochester.

From working ground up to begin some projects to reviving and energizing others Trent Odell knows 2026 will begin to show some fruit from the labors.

Mayor Odell says the calendar year will also bring beginnings.

The Rochester Kiwanis Club and the Fulton County Chamber of Commerce will host the upcoming State of the City event featuring Rochester Mayor Trent Odell.
