Leaf Pickup – Do NOT Rake Leaves onto the Street!

Mr. Rich Talbert — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 03:08:50 +0000

If you would like your leaves picked up by Public Works employees, please rake them to the edge of the curb. Do not rake leaves onto the street. Not only is it illegal, it also creates a dangerous environment for drivers in the borough.

Grove City Opposes I-80 Tolling

voakes — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 20:45:13 +0000

Grove City Borough Council took action at their August 17th regular meeting to renew opposition toward plans to toll Interstate 80. The Council hopes other communities across the state will join them in opposition. Mayor Randy Riddle commented “The tolling of I-80 will put Grove City and Mercer County at an economic disadvantage to other areas of the state”. To aid other communities wanting to express their opposition, a sample copy of a Resolution is attached. Any community wishing to formally adopt the resolution is welcome to use the sample. Don’t forget to mail copies of the adopted resolution to your various state and federal elected representatives as well as any state associations.

When a community comes together, good things happen!

For generations the Grove City Community Library has played a central role in meeting the reading, learning, and personal enrichment needs in our community. Thanks to a loving and caring community of people dedicated to the purpose of our library they have been able to grow and provide for the increased needs of youth programming, technology, and both educational and recreational reading material for the community. In order to continue to meet the growing needs of our community and future generations expansion is necessary. The library needs your help to reach that goal.
