The City of Norton has an enviable problem: its location, business incentives, recreational options and new housing opportunities have created significant growth here in the past decade. Residents gladly support new sewer and water infrastructure, shopping centers and apartment complexes to not only support the current needs but meet tomorrow’s as well.

Future development here will evolve around adding organized sports fields, wildlife observation posts and fishing facilities to the three golf courses, six city parks, walking trails and community center already in use.

Local club activities form a strong social life for residents. Thanks to Jaycees, Boy/Girl Scouts, Community Parents Club, Flowering Heights Garden Club, Friends of the Library, Lions Club, Kiwanis Club, Norton Historical Society, Norton Women’s Club, Welcome Wagon and other civic groups, the volunteer muscle to sponsor events like our annual Cider Festival are readily available. This spirit of pitching in bodes well for Norton’s future.
