All homeowners in the VOGHA community are encouraged to attend our Annual Meeting being held at St. Luke’s church on Monday, April 22 at 7pm.
During annual meetings, the board will:
- hear issues from the community
- review the business of the previous year
- discuss the annual garage sale
- alert the homeowners to safety and security issues
- inform homeowners of upcoming expenses/neighborhood improvements
- hosts a guest speaker
This year’s guest speaker is Gahanna Mayor Becky Stinchcomb. In this timely Q&A, the mayor will discuss Issue 4, which will appear on the May 7 ballot. The proposal is to change the income tax rate in Gahanna from 1.5% to 2.5%. Learn how this vote will impact your income as a resident of Gahanna, and how the additional funds will be used within the city.
Please find attached the Gahanna Police Department UPDATE for March. If you have questions on it, please contact the GPD directly at 342-4240.
