ATTN: Box City Residents
RE: Box City Council Takes the Lead in Reconstruction

Box City is flooded with permanent damage expected. Yesterday, the Governor demanded the entire population be relocated and the Bureau of Land Management identified a parcel of land for the new city. Citizens of Box City are looking to their city council to help them plan the new city. City council members are rising to the charge as they develop plans for constructing the new community.
