Dear Citizens and Friends of Gate City,

WOW !!  Good things are happening in Gate City !!  Several of our empty buildings downtown have recently been sold and we have high hopes that the new owners will put new businesses in these locations soon. I think that leaves 2 building still for sale in the downtown area.  Hopefully, those will sell soon and the new owners will bring new life to those buildings as well.  We have a new Bar B-Q restaurant opening at the end of August!!  I can’t wait to try it out !! 

I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Lavish Hair Design to our downtown area. We wish them much success.   Also, we welcome the Ice Box, which has brought refreshment to many on these hot summer days !!  So, it appears that good things are happening in Gate City and with some things appearing on the horizon!

All of our events this summer have been a success.  You can see what events are scheduled for the rest of the year by checking the Gate City Frontier Facebook page. 

It should be noted that no one person can make all of this happen.  It takes teamwork between the mayor, town council, the business community, our town staff and other organizations to make positive changes happen.  It is this kind of teamwork that makes people want to invest and live in our community.  I would like to thank all who have played a part in our success thus far.
