More than a dozen projects are currently in various stages of engineering or construction in the city of Grove, as outlined in a memo this week from City Manager Bill Galletly to members of the Council and trustees of GMSA.

In addition, the city is currently talking with several wireless phone companies to develop a cell tower network for Grove and the surrounding area, nearly 300 square miles.
The city is also working with several companies, including PSO, to determine the possibility of developing an automatic meter reading program for gas and water, for GMSA use. The study will take several months to complete and may be tied to the communication tower development project.
