Algoma officials hope its new administrator can use his past experience to help the city grow. The Algoma City Council named Jared Heyn as its new administrator earlier this month after the position was vacated by Jeff Wiswell last March. Heyn has served the village of Bellevue over the last three years as its assistant to the administrator. In that time, Bellevue has not just tacked on new residents to its population but its business base as well. Algoma Mayor Wayne Schmidt hopes Heyn can have similar success in his new role.

Heyn will begin his duties as the Algoma City Administrator on February 3rd.
