As the year draws to a close, we’re proud to reflect on the incredible progress our community has made in 2024. Here are some of the highlights:
Improving Infrastructure
Our Water Service Line Inventory project was a major milestone, ensuring safer, cleaner water for our residents. The City staff’s dedication to protecting public health and embracing forward-thinking solutions made this effort a success.
The City’s Engineering Department, in partnership with the Water and Sewer Department, has used utility records, home visits, self-reporting and online surveys to determine the material of over 50% of Goshen’s service lines—serving more than 6,000 households.
Enhancing Green Spaces
2024 saw significant improvements in our parks and greenways. From new playground installations to trail expansions, we’re committed to fostering a community that prioritizes outdoor recreation and well-being.
Modernizing Transportation
We continued to invest in road and sidewalk improvements to make traveling in Goshen safer and more efficient. Thank you for your patience during construction season as we worked toward these long-term benefits!
Supporting Arts and Culture
The arts were alive and thriving this year! From the First Fridays events downtown to new public art installations to the River Bend Film Festival , we’ve continued to celebrate creativity and community.
Economic Growth
Goshen welcomed several new businesses this year, bringing jobs and opportunities to our city. Local businesses are the heart of our economy, and we’re proud to support their growth.
Community Engagement
Thank you to everyone who joined us for public meetings, volunteered for City projects, or simply reached out to share feedback. Your input drives our progress and helps make Goshen a better place for everyone.
As we look forward to 2025, we remain committed to building a strong, connected, and thriving community. Thank you, Goshen, for being the reason our city continues to shine. Here’s to an even brighter future!
