          Yatsook added that the city already has a lot of restau-
        
        
          rant and retail operations, drawing consumers from
        
        
          the surrounding communities. “We’re the place where
        
        
          most Cass County citizens go to shop. They can come
        
        
          to Belton and get everything done and go home.” “You
        
        
          can get to from Belton to about everywhere in fifteen
        
        
          or twenty minutes,” Fisher added.
        
        
          Looking ahead, Fisher reported that the city has re-
        
        
          cently contracted with an energy consultant company,
        
        
          360 Engineers. “They’ll help us with a variety of things
        
        
          related to energy consumption,” he said. “One thing
        
        
          we’ve been looking into over a year, now, is purchasing
        
        
          street lights and making them all LED.”
        
        
          This past year has been a good one for the city of Bel-
        
        
          ton, Missouri as it continues to live up to its motto:
        
        
          “Proud past, bright future.”
