Galva Mayor Rich Volkert joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to discuss the Monday, August 4th, Galva City Council Meeting. Mayor Rich Volkert shared updates from the most recent City Council meeting. The council reviewed the appraisal for the Old Chevy building, discussing potential redevelopment opportunities. Anyone interested in the property should contact Galva City Hall. Members also gave the green light for the Park District’s application to the OSLAD Grant, which could bring significant improvements to local recreational facilities if awarded.
