Dryden City Manager Retiring Today

Arie Hoogenboom is set to enjoy retirement today (Friday) after 9-years of service as Dryden City Manager.
Hoogenboom was instrumental in drafting Dryden’s first strategic plan as well as develop community revitalization strategies.
Hoogenboom arrived in Dryden at the end of the economic boom and he believes we have weathered the storm.
