60 Passion For Palmetto Mayor Shirley Groover Bryant leads the way for her hometown WORDS: Amy Bell PICTURES: Whitney Patton When you ask Mayor Shirley Groover Bryant about the city of Palmetto, her voice comes alive with enthusiasm for her hometown. “Palmetto is a great place to be…and especially to be mayor,” she gushes. “We just want to keep making the city the best place to make your home, to open a business, to build your life. That’s our ultimate goal.” Born and raised in Palmetto, Bryant attended Palmetto Elementary and graduated from Palmetto High School. She went on to attend Manatee Community College (which is now State College of Florida) and ultimately graduated from Florida Southern College in Lakeland, where she studied economics and accounting.
