Ever since Google announced plans to build an ultra high speed fiber network in the Kansas City Region Gladstone residents have expressed a desire to have it in Gladstone. Last night, at the May 13, the City Council meeting the Council approved Bill NO. 13-17 authorizing Google Fiber Missouri to operate within the right of way of the city of Gladstone to construct, install and operate video service. Yes, Google is coming to Gladstone.We can not be sure of the start date but we do know it is coming. You can follow developments by following Google's blog at googlefiberblog.blogspot.com. Of course as more information becomes available there will be posts to this blog, Facebook, twitter and the City's website and cable channel.

Linden Square

Linden Square is designed to be a gathering place for folks from across the Gladstone community and the surrounding area. Nearly 2,000 people have already taken advantage of some of the amenities this facility has to offer with people spending time ice skating at Linden Square this winter. The skating experience was different since the ice is synthetic, requiring no refrigeration, no Zamboni and no freezing temperatures.

Now with spring approaching it is time to think about warm weather functions and dedicating this place to the community. That will happen on April 5 at 6:30 p.m. when Mayor Suter and the City Council dedicate the facility and talk about the future in Gladstone. Following the dedication, Liverpool, a Beatles Tribute Band will perform. The event is free to the public and everyone is invited to attend. A fireworks display will follow the performance. Join the others and enjoy a great evening of entertainment.
