Godfrey Business Spotlight: Karen Wilson State Farm
GODFREY - “Like a good neighbor, State Farm (or should we say, Karen) is there…” And what a good neighbor she is to so many in the community. Mrs. Wilson is very active and committed to the community. She does, or has, served on several community service organization boards. She is on the boards of the Riverbend Growth Association, North Alton-Godfrey Business Council, Pride, Inc., Lewis and Clark Community College Foundation, and Asbury Village. Karen was very instrumental, through Pride, Inc., in developing the “Welcome to Godfrey” signs at both the northern and southern entrances to the Village. She has chaired the local Bucket Brigade, which her father started in 1988. She also co-chaired, with Pat Ackman, the Miles Davis Memorial Committee that raised money to erect a statue of Miles Davis in his birth town of Alton. While many currently recognize Karen as a State Farm agent, she does have a varied career. Back in the day, she sold real estate

The Madison County Board voted on in December to renew its Adopt-A-Highway program throughout the county. County roads are a vital piece of the county’s transportation network, connecting the places where residents live, work and play. “While development, construction and weather treatment are the most critical aspects of road maintenance, it is also important to maintain the areas around roadways through litter clean-up,” County Engineer Adam Walden said. “The Adopt-a-Highway Program will allow residents, local businesses and civic groups to participate in beautifying county roadways.” Walden said the county’s Adopt-A-Highway program offers an opportunity for organizations or individuals to adopt a section of up to two miles of county-maintained roadways and conduct periodic litter clean-ups to help protect the environment and keep
