Last month's gas leak resulting in the home explosion is still under

the matter. Testing will be done next week, and based on the results of
those tests, the investigation will move forward. Council Member

any type of gas or unfamiliar odor. There are many agencies and
interested parties involved in the investigation. Chief Bates announced

It is that time of year when the Department of Commerce, Division of
Liquor Control asks the City if there are any issues with the renewal of
permits within the City of Groveport. Mr. Shannon spoke with Police
Chief Portier, who has had no formal complaints or informal complaints
of any substance. The notice states that if the City has no issues with the
permit renewals, there is nothing to do. No response to the letter lets it be
known that Groveport has no issues. There are currently two (2) available
liquor permits in Groveport. The City is in line for the first one because of
the development site next to Ace Hardware, which the City very strongly
wants to have a liquor permit so the City can bring in a very upscale
restaurant or some other type of establishment.
