In their most recent back-and-forth on the city's financial plan, council members are considering lowering the current tax rate of 0.626978 per $100 valuation to 0.602087.

Labor Day’s coming soon, Halloween’s still ahead and Thanksgiving, too, so it’d be jumping the gun to kick-off the countdown to Christmas – that said, Lois Reed’s counting on early present to pave the way for the holidays.
Last November, the Gladewater Chamber of Commerce dynamo told council members about developing plans to replace downtown’s community tree in time for Christmas 2024. She quickly netted a $15,000 commitment from the city to fuel fundraising for the towering decoration.
Nine months and about $19,000 later, the tree’s ordered and will soon be...

Another year-to-year decrease in Gladewater’s monthly sales tax allocation from the state isn’t likely to set anyone to trembling at City Hall – as of August, the city’s coffers are already at $1.15 million in collections for the year, about two months ahead of schedule.

Brian Smith feels a bit handcuffed when he’s sidelined watching someone else do the work – Gladewater’s Public Works director would much rather be the one wielding the chainsaw at a downed tree or the shovel in the hole at a water leak.
Needless to say, when City Manager Charlie Smith gave him the green light to go hands-on with an auto restoration, the lifelong mechanic didn’t need to be asked twice.
That goes double when the car in question is a classic.
Years back, former...

Crew members from Red River Pump Specialists and other contractors re-install Gladewater Water Plant pumps 2 and 3 Monday under the watchful eye of Plant Manager Wendy Emmel, Operator Nate Palmer and other city personnel. After a week's delay due to rain, the contractors went on to remove pump 1 for maintenance and a bit of TLC – it kept the city’s water flowing on its own non-stop since the other pumps went out-of-service March 4.

Gladewater City Council - Regular Session - Dec 2023

After a handful of test runs and troubleshooting, Gladewater Public Works personnel are putting the city’s new wood chipper to the test this morning alongside Mayor Scott Owens. It took about a year and approximately $45,000 to manifest (with East Texas Council of Governments covering about a third of the cost) and the aim’s for the equipment to circulate through the community once a month to dispose of residents' limbs and brush. Homeowners should call City Hall to get their house on the list then pile green waste for the chipper at the curb so it's in easy reach — city employees can’t go into a resident’s yard to pick up the tree debris. Schedule a wood chipper visit by calling 903-845-2196.

Dozens in the crowd departed soon after to go lay wreaths on the veterans' graves in local cemeteries. Look for more details in Thursday's issue of the Gladewater Mirror
