Councilman Barry McCullough resigns Gladstone Councilman Barry McCullough has announced he will step down from his elected post, effective Aug. 1. “It is with mixed emotion that I announce my resignation from the City Council,” he said at a recent council meeting, citing the purchase of a new home
and subsequent move to another Northland community as the reason for leaving city government. McCullough still owns a business in Gladstone and plans to remain engaged and active with the community. He was first elected to the Gladstone City Council in
2009 and served as mayor in 2011. Before holding elected office, he served as a member of the Gladstone Planning Commission. “Barry will be missed,” Mayor Jean Moore said. “He has provided a great example of leadership and has been a friend to the community.”

at least 21 years of age, a U.S. citizen, a resident of Gladstone for one year prior to appointment and a registered voter. Interested qualified residents are encouraged to submit a resumé and letter of interest indicating their reasons for wanting to serve, experience in the

The Gladstone Farmers Market is changing locations to make way for The Heights. The weekly outdoor market will move to the parking lot at the Gladstone Hy-Vee to accommodate construction of the mixed-use development at Northeast 70th and North Locust Streets. Fresh produce and other items will be available at the new site starting Wednesday, June 26. Market hours will remain the same: 2 to 6 p.m. Wednesdays through the end of October, rain or shine. “Only if there is a severe weather alert will the market be forced to close,” according to the city’s website. The grocery store parking lot, at Northeast 72nd Street and North Prospect Avenue, offers more parking and easier access for shoppers, a press release from the city said. “The vendors think this is a good move for the market and are excited to get started,” the release said. “Everyone is excited about being able to let a much larger part of the community become aware of the market and see how it could evolve and grow.” Shoppers can make their purchases with EBT, credit and debit cards at the Gladstone Farmers Market.
