Councilman Carter promotes heroes appreciation lunch on September 11 in Gallatin

The Gallatin City Council meeting on August 27, 2025, highlighted a significant decision to move forward with an ordinance aimed at removing certain restrictions, a move that will be sent to the council for further consideration. Councilman Carter confirmed that he had withdrawn his previous motion, allowing the council to proceed with this new direction.

In addition to legislative matters, the meeting also addressed community events. Councilman Carter announced an upcoming Heroes Appreciation Lunch, set for September 11, from 11:30 AM to 1 PM, at the Gallatin Center for Rehabilitation. This event will honor local firefighters, police officers, and EMS personnel, with attendees having a chance to win a YETI cooler in a drawing.

Furthermore, the council acknowledged the annual Field of Flags ceremony organized by Alexander Funeral Home, which will take place at 11 AM on the same day, September 11. This event serves as a poignant tribute to honor those affected by the events of 9/11.

As the council wraps up its agenda, the focus remains on fostering community spirit and recognizing local heroes while navigating important legislative changes.
