Side Notes
For the past year, the City has been developing its first-ever Capital Improvement Plan. Consider this a “roadmap” that will guide the investment of taxpayer dollars for both short-term and long-term needs such as streets, bridges, trails, sidewalks, playgrounds, parks and more.

One of the things I value most about being a Gahanna resident is the way members of our community come together. Whether it is in celebration of annual holidays, connecting with family and friends at local events or in our parks, or supporting one another when help is needed, these gatherings always remind us of all that we have in common and all that we share as one community. In this edition of Uniquely Gahanna, we feature stories of how members of our community work together to help Gahanna – and one another. Our cover story highlights the work of two Gahanna businesses that are dedicated to prioritizing the inclusion of residents with disabilities, encouraging their growth and forming strong friendships in the process. Be introduced to a Gahanna resident and new business owner, who is finding support within our local small business community as she pursues her dream of launching her own artisan retail shop in the City’s downtown area. As we wind up our celebration of National Parks & Recreation Month, learn more about the work that happens behind the scenes in the City’s Department of Parks & Recreation to make our parks, trails, events and programs enjoyable for all of our residents and what motivates them to make our community better.
As we soak in the remaining warm days of summer, there are many more opportunities for us to come together to celebrate Gahanna and each other. From the Farmers Market to Supporting Gahanna Together Day, from the return of high school football to live music in the park, we look forward to connecting with you and invite you to explore all that is uniquely Gahanna.
