Rex Holloway was named Cottonwood Shores Citizen of the Year at the July 10 meeting of the  Cottonwood Shores City Council and he will be presented the award at the council's meeting Thursday, Aug. 3.

Holloway currently serves on the city's Board of Adjustment and is vice chairman of the Parks Committee.

“He has worked tirelessly for new playground equipment, and the addition of the splash pad and Memorial Day's grand opening with hotdogs and tee shirts for the kids,” said City Administrator Sheila Moore. “He also attends most city council meetings.”

“Rex is the moving force in the Parks Committee,” said council member Roger Wayson. “He has directed the parks through a time when we were not in ADA compliance to settle all the issues, has developed plans for parks to bring enjoyment to the citizens including a highly successful splash pad day with hot dogs, tee shirts for the children, and handouts, had a successful day of input from the citizens, completed plans for the new swing sets to be installed in community park, and given a tremendous amount of time to work on the parks.

“He was very deserving.”
