Mayor Streng and a Strong Community

The Docu-movie
Its time we highlight the heroes of Howell and let the Villains fade away. Join us on our Journey of reflection and remembrance as we bring light to the stories that have been dimmed by darkness. Its time to let stories of Courage, Love and excellence become the stories of Howell.
