After careful review of the results and the IP addresses of which the votes came in, we have determined that the results were likely manipulated and Roanoke should be declared the winner.

Tony - 7 years ago
Glad to see the results being reviewed! With an hour to go, Roanoke had a huge lead. The only way they could have lost is if someone had voted over and over and over again. I wonder if all those votes caked from hundreds of citizens, or a select few. Hmmmm...

EFFINGHAM CITY HALL!! What an amazing feature to this thriving City! It compliments the downtown district and functions as the progressive hub of local government. The history on the walls within and the outdoors' sculptures of the playful children and flame of hope show the passion of the people, past and present.
The work ethic in Effingham and surrounding communities is immeasurable. Loved it when I lived hear, but didn't appreciate it until I moved away.
A big thanks to the many dynamic individuals that have contributed to this communities success. The future looks bright for those to follow!

Been working here for 24 years, have seen a lot of improvements over the years. Roanoke City Hall is a beautiful old building meshed with a beautiful new building many many years ago. However, its not just a building that makes City Hall beautiful, its the all the folks who bring the services to the community we serve.
Karen - 7 years ago
I enjoy the fact that people are able to walk through the halls and recall how the offices used to be used.
Its great to see the old and the new blending an older structure with a newer one. Last year the outdoor steps to the older building were renovated and that entrance reopened for public access.

Effingham, IL's City Hall is a beautiful structure and compliments Effingham's classic style.
This is very exciting for the City of Effingham. Our City Hall is beautiful. It was constructed by a local builder (small business) and a local architect (small business) 20 years ago. We are honored to be part of this contest. What a great way for the residents and local businesses to get interested in City Hall's across our great Nation! Two Thumbs up ELGL!
