| Meridian is governed by a
City Council with a Mayor and five Council members. These
representatives of the citizens are elected to terms that are
staggered to allow for new elections every year. The
citizens are served by a two person police force comprised of a
Police Chief and one Officer. Fire protection is provided
by the Meridian Volunteer Fire Department. This department
is well staffed, trained and equipped. City Hall is
located at 111 North Main Street.
The community of Meridian
and the surrounding area offers a clean, quiet and safe
environment for families. North Bosque EMS, based in
Meridian, responds to medical emergencies. Basic medical care is
available through a Goodall Witcher affiliated clinic in Meridian.
Hospital care is available only 12 miles away in Clifton and
major medical facilities are less than 50 miles away in Waco.
Employment opportunities
are available in a variety of areas including healthcare,
elementary and high school education, maintenance, production
and retail.
As the I-35 commercial corridor
widens and the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex continues its move
Southward, Meridian offers opportunities for ground floor
commercial and industrial re-location, new business start ups
(both commercial and retail) and opportunities to purchase
existing businesses.
