Mayor Voxland named as C.C. Ludwig Award recipient


Mayor Mark Voxland of Moorhead has been selected as one of the 2009 C.C. Ludwig Award winners. The honorees were announced last week at the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) 2009 Annual Conference in St. Paul.

The C.C. Ludwig Award is named in honor of a former League executive director, and is considered to be the League’s highest honor for elected officials. Established in 1962, the award is given annually in celebration of outstanding service. Recipients are chosen for their vision, statesmanship, and unwavering commitment to the public good.

Mayor Voxland, who received the C.C. Ludwig Award for elected officials from cities with populations of 10,000 or more, was cited for taking the lead on Moorhead’s Downtown Revitalization program and for his around-the-clock efforts during the recent flooding in the Fargo-Moorhead area.

Voxland is a former president of the League of Minnesota Cities, and has also served on the Board of Directors for the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities. In 2003-2004, he chaired the League-driven Financing Local Government Task Force. Voxland currently serves as Red River Basin commissioner.

Congratulations Mayor Voxland!
