Crystal River wasnât lazy as it went through the obstacles and hardships of 2020. Boxes on the cityâs to-do list were being checked off as its leaders and staff fast-tracked town square, honed in on finishing the Riverwalk, put a tighter grip on Kingâs Bay, revamped land development codes and staked a claim of State Road 44. âIn spite of all the issues weâve seen with COVID and all of the things it has brought, it has really been a year of action in the city,â Mayor Joe Meek said during a Zoom interview. â⦠and the proof is the pudding; I encourage folks to come to Crystal River.â
