City of Rexburg

City of Rexburg

We keep repeating these three pillars: Remember | Connect | Serve.
Together, they represent one powerful legacy.

Together, we will REMEMBER the stories, lives, and history connected to the Teton Dam Flood.

Together, we will CONNECT with neighbors, family, community events, and the shared experiences that shaped Eastern Idaho 50 years ago.

Together, we will SERVE in the same spirit of resilience, compassion, and community support that emerged in the aftermath of June 1976.

Throughout Flood 50, these three ideas will guide exhibits, films, races, service projects, tours, celebrations, and community gatherings across the region. And we will honor the resilience that endured long after the waters receded.

Help us flood the feeds by engaging with our posts about Flood 50 - like comment & share so all in the community and the region can participate in this once-in-a-lifetime event!

Tomorrow, we're looking for volunteers to help us beautify Rexburg!
Each year, we invite our community to help us plant flowers on Main Street. We call it Flow-Bor Day.
Volunteers will get a t-shirt with this design! Shout out to the Mayor's Youth Advisory Group, who helps coordinate the event!

Plants are provided. We suggest bringing garden gloves and a trowel.
Meet the Mayor & planting crew in front of City Hall at 4 pm tomorrow, May 21st.
Many hands make light work, as they say. We're done by 6!

The results of the Police Station Bond election are now final. The bond measure did not pass. We truly appreciate the residents who took time to engage with us – whether by asking questions, attending town halls, touring the current facility, reviewing shared information, or voting. Community engagement and feedback are, and will always be, an important part of how Rexburg plans for the future. While the bond was not approved, the facility challenges that led to the proposal remain. Moving forward, City officials and the Rexburg Police Department will take time to evaluate options and consider the best path forward. As those conversations continue, we remain committed to providing education, facts, and updates across our official channels. Thank you, sincerely, to everyone who participated in the process.

We heard residents' concerns over the cost of the bond. By reducing the project scope, we lowered the estimated property tax impact. The May bond proposal has a $3,285,138 lower cost than the November bond proposal. By making changes to the bond plan, voters can consider a proposal that better addresses residents' concerns.

Rexburg is a place where families can grow, and we at the City work to support that in the services we provide our community, from public safety to infrastructure to recreation opportunities.

A police facility is a long-term investment in community safety. The proposed station is designed to meet current needs and plan for future growth as Rexburg continues to evolve.

As we head into a busy spring and summer season, we’re looking forward to more opportunities to gather, like the annual Carousel Summer Kickoff each May.

These efforts are only part of the work City staff provide to serve Rexburg, "America’s Family Community."
