GREEN RIVER – Recently the city honored Jeff Nieters as he approaches retirement. This is a a statement given by the Green River Governing Body.

On behalf of the Governing Body, the employees of the City of Green River and our community we would like to recognize Jeff Nieters as he approaches his retirement on June 2nd. It is very sad to be saying goodbye to Jeff who is closing in on almost 14 years of service with the City of Green River. He has been a great asset to the City and our Community.

He has guided the City through both prosperous and difficult times with style and wisdom. He is also a pillar of our community who has donated his time to the Knights of Columbus, Chamber of Commerce, to the kids of our community through coaching of the High School and Spurs Soccer teams, as well as lend his expertise and knowledge to many other boards and committees that are too numerous to mention. 

Tonight, we pay tribute to his dedication, his commitment, his innovative approach and his professionalism. We have come to know Jeff as not only a business colleague, but as a friend. Together, collectively, we have seen great things happen, visions have been created and goals were structured as he helped works towards balance for the city as a whole.

You have left your indelible mark. We will miss your professional expertise and your friendship and wish you only success and happiness in your future endeavors–may they be all that you hoped for! The City and the Community will be losing a valuable asset and more importantly a wonderful person.
