FROM THE DESK OF THE CITY MANAGER

Summer has FLOWN by, and the Fall Season is upon us. Many of you will be asking about the Leaf Route. We will post it on our Website and Facebook Page as we get closer to that part of the Season.

We would like to send a sincere THANK YOU to Irvin Saunders of Saunders Contracting for the work completed on the Springhouse at our Moundhill Cemetery. This Spring house was in dire need of repairs and was a piece of the Cemetery’s History. We would also like to send a gracious Thank You to the private donors that made this renovation happen.

Pool Season is now over, and we had another successful year! Thank you to all of the people who came out in support of the Gallipolis Municipal Pool and supported it the way that you do.

We are in the planning stages of another paving project for 2027. As of the writing of this letter, 4^th Ave is slated to be completely paved by the end of September. Milling is scheduled for September 15 & 16, with the paving slated to begin immediately after.

We have spoken a lot about a Splashpad at Haskins Park beside the Swimming Pool. Construction is slated to begin this fall and our hopes is that this Splash Pad is up and running for the next swim season.

Thanks to some residents who volunteer their time. The Butterfly Garden at Haskins Park has been renovated into a nice sitting area and the old Welcome to Gallipolis Sign at the Riverfront received a facelift. Volunteers are vital to any community and we would like to give our sincere thanks to the Gallipolis in Bloom Organization (Karen and Wilson Smith) and the Carter Family for donating their time to these projects. Your works do not go unnoticed.

We have had many comments on the new “Welcome to Gallipolis” sign at the Riverfront. We welcome all to enjoy the new sign and hope everyone will take advantage of great photo opportunities. With this being said, we are asking everyone to be respectful and ask that you DO NOT park any vehicles or drive on the pavers under this new sign or on the walkways. The pavers under the sign and on the walks ARE NOT weighted to hold the weight of vehicles. They will crack.
