After years of committed service to the City of Groveland, Councilman Mike Radzik is retiring from his position as the District Two representative. Known for his active approach to community connection and public service, Radzik has been a steadfast advocate for Groveland and its residents.
Since first falling in love with Groveland’s scenic beauty in 2004, he has embraced the city as his hometown and worked tirelessly alongside neighbors and friends to see it flourish.
