Preparing for the holidays in Hoover

It’s hard to believe the holidays are here! We are very excited about the abundance of activities in Hoover in November and December. Von Maur will open its doors on Nov. 2, and this new shopping venue will be a definite asset to the Galleria and the City of Hoover. On the afternoon of Nov. 3, the city will kick off its week long Veterans celebration with a reception at the Hoover Library Plaza. Be sure and visit our website at hooveralabama.gov for a complete list of Veterans Day activities the week of Nov. 3-11. Also, please take a moment to thank the men and women who have served or are presently serving our country.  

Please join us at 10 a.m. on Nov. 22 at the ribbon-cutting for the long-awaited Chapel Lane extension. This new road will give residents another avenue in which to travel to John Hawkins Parkway and I-459. We are very excited that this opening will kick off the holiday shopping season.   With Christmas just around the corner, if you are planning to have a holiday party, please remember the Hoover Met or the gorgeous Aldridge Gardens. Both of these gems are located in our city, and the Hoover Met has a tremendous amount of parking available with easy access to I-459. Either location has caterers available, so all you have to do is book your party today and they’ll take care of the rest.

As you can see, we have a lot going on, and 2014 promises to be another fun and action-packed year for the City of Hoover.  Please take time to get involved in your community; we have a lot to offer. You can always call our office or visit our website for more information.

We are happy to serve the people of Hoover, and I am honored to be your mayor. We want to wish you a safe and happy Thanksgiving and holiday season!

Sincerely,

Gary Ivey

Mayor
