The Grove City Council voted unanimously Nov. 18 to award a contract to Rock Solid Contracting to build a 42‑acre multi‑purpose Grove City Park and staff said a groundbreaking is scheduled for Jan. 9, 2026.
The Grove City Council voted unanimously Nov. 18 to approve a contract with Rock Solid Contracting for construction of a 42‑acre multi‑purpose park to be known as Grove City Park.
Councilmember Ivan Devitt moved to approve the contract; Councilmember Peggy Steed seconded the motion. The vote was 4–0 in favor, with Devitt, Andy Stewart, Peggy Steed and Mayor Ed Trumbull voting aye.
City Manager Darren Cook told the council the city plans a groundbreaking for the new park on Jan. 9, 2026. The contract award follows the council’s authorization of the purchase order register and related routine business earlier in the meeting.
The contract authorizes the city to proceed with construction contracting for the park project; the minutes do not specify the contract dollar amount, funding sources, or schedule beyond the announced groundbreaking date. Details on financing and schedule were not specified in the meeting record.
The council’s action clears the administrative step of awarding the construction contract; staff will proceed with the next procurement and scheduling steps in advance of the January groundbreaking, according to the city manager’s report.
