City manager outlines fall events, reminds residents of economic development grant deadline

City Manager John gave the council a rundown of upcoming community events and outreach activities, including an outdoor concert at Eichelberger on Sept. 25, Station 22's open house on Sept. 27 (with a live burn demonstration), a monster market and drive-in movie at Thomas Cloud Park on Oct. 10 with a 5K and vendor market, and a "Huber's Haunted" trail on Oct. 23.

John also said the city's economic development grant application process is open through Oct. 16 and that staff are prioritizing veteran-owned, small, nonprofit, women- and minority-owned businesses for awards. Council members asked staff for application-status numbers and for the film scheduled for the Oct. 10 event; John said he would follow up with that information.
