Ely’s new mayor, Melody Van Camp, promised to ‘clean up the city’ to make it more appealing to tourists.
Van Camp was selected on a 3-2 vote of the Ely City Council to replace Jon Hickman who died last month.
The owner of a local sewing store, Van Camp said that her number one concern was of several old buildings in and around the center of town that have fallen into disrepair.
