League of Minnesota Cities honors former Jordan mayor
Former Mayor Ronald H. Jabs of Jordan has been selected as one of two League of Minnesota Cities’ C.C. Ludwig Award winners for 2009 — Moorhead Mayor Mark Voxland was the other.
The award is considered the highest honor the league can confer. It’s named after a former league executive director and was established in 1962 to honor examples of vision, statesmanship, commitment to the public good in city officials.
Jabs, who received the award for elected officials from cities with populations of less than 10,000, was praised for promoting progress, development, and growth in his city.
He played a key role in construction of a modern wastewater and water treatment plant, notes league officials.
He recently served as president of the Minnesota Mayors Association and has also served on the league’s board of directors.
The City of Jordan has also honored Jabs.
