Mayor’s Minute

The Hoover Beautification Board recently held a luncheon to commend businesses and non-residential properties for the most beautiful landscaping.  This program is held every two years.

The properties are judged on first impressions, creative design, plant selection, plant maintenance and maintenance of retaining walls, walkways and pavement. Bonus points are given for properties that have the “wow factor.”

There were several categories for different types of businesses, churches and educational foundations, each with their own winner. The Mayor’s award was presented to Thomas E. Bradley Fire Station No. 4 and the Tree Conservation Award was won by the Chase Corporate Center.

Fall is a busy time of year in the city of Hoover. We have many exciting events planned for this fall and they are all family friendly! Another annual event in Hoover is the Pig Iron BBQ Challenge, held at the Hoover Met on Oct. 21, followed up by the Hoover Hayride and Family Night held on Oct. 27 from 5 to 8 p.m. at Veterans Park on Valleydale Road. All details about these events and a complete listing of other events are located on our website at hooveralabama.gov, or you can call City Hall at 444-7500.

Be sure to remember Aldridge Gardens or the Hoover Met if you need a place to host a holiday party, wedding reception, reunion or an anniversary party. Both facilities are reasonably priced and catering is available.  

For more information about rentals at Aldridge Gardens call 682-8019 or visit their website, aldridgegardens.com, or for the Hoover Met call 739-6400.

We want to exceed your expectations in every way with all we do. Please contact our office if we can be of assistance to you.

Sincerely, Gary Ivey
