Dear Citizens and friends of Gate City,

Hard to believe but here we are in February !!  February is known as the month of “love”.  With Valentine’s Day being this month it is the time we show that special someone in life our love them in a special way.

How about showing love in a couple of ways this year.  As you are looking for that special gift for that special someone how about showing your “love” to our businesses here in Gate City by purchasing that special gift from one of them.  We have some unique shops in town where you can find that unique gift that that unique person in your life.

Our businesses contribute so much to the well-being of our town and we should support them as much as possible!!  So, let’s show them some love this month !!

I want to bring you up to date about what is going on in our town.  The town manager, Council member Pat Elliott and myself just returned from Legislative Days in Richmond.  Our purpose there was to meet with many of the agencies that provide funding to communities for many of our projects.  We are given the opportunity to present some of the future projects we hope to receive funding, to push for approval of some the request that we already have in the works and to learn of funding sources that will be available in the future.

February 6th we have a meeting with Spectrum Design to discuss their re-design and feasibility of the theater project.

February 7th we will have the Kick-off meeting with the Department of Transportation for the Manville and Kane street projects.   These projects are being funded by grants through the Department of Transportation that the town applied for.  Once completed this will enhance the safety of pedestrian traffic in those areas.
