In a recent Lima City Council meeting, officials announced the revival of the neighborhood association, set to kick off with a Thanksgiving turkey dinner on November 23rd at Lima Tower. The initiative aims to re-engage community members and foster local connections, with plans for additional neighborhood associations in the South Side and QB Corner areas.
Council members discussed logistical details for the turkey distribution, which will occur in October, although the exact location is still being finalized due to ongoing renovations at the Reverential Church.
Additionally, councilors highlighted public safety concerns as daylight hours shorten, urging the community to remain vigilant, especially regarding children walking to school. The police department received commendations for addressing tree lawn issues, which have been a persistent concern in the community.
Councilor Gordon expressed appreciation for the collaborative efforts of local government officials during a recent embark meeting, emphasizing the importance of representing constituents' interests. He also acknowledged the swift response from the law and police departments in resolving issues in the first ward.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn until October 7th, reflecting a commitment to ongoing community engagement and responsiveness to local needs.
