Dear Citizens and Friends of Gate City,

WOW!!  Congratulations to our Girls basketball team as they enter the State championship bracket !!  We wish them nothing but the best !!

And of course, Mac McClung, our hometown boy, who won the NBA Dunk contest!!  Congratulations to him!!  We are not only proud of his achievements but also of the way he has represented and promoted Gate City.  Thank you Mac!!!

Gate City Frontier is working hard planning are upcoming events which will be kicking off soon!!  Be looking for the advertisements on their Facebook page and other media outlets.

I know sometimes it appears that there is not much going on in Gate City but there is a lot that goes on in the background that most people don’t see. I would like to share the following information with you.

The Town currently has over 160 active businesses. We only have a couple vacancy in our downtown.  For only 2,000 people who live in Town, we have done very well at attracting businesses to Gate City.  In the last few years, we have attracted 49 new businesses to Gate City.  We are also working on the development of the Gate City Theater.  This will help bring people into town along with our events.  There are many other things that are being looked at and worked on but it all takes time.

Let’s all work together and make Gate City the best it can be !!

Bob Richards
Mayor, Town of Gate City
