What Are We Looking For?

This is the central question by Westerville's own Michael Heyeck in his new book released last month. Within its pages, Heyeck reflects upon his 40+ years of experience in public service and how this intersected with his Catholic faith, his conscience, and his upbringing in urban New Jersey. He shares stories from his personal, professional, and public life as he grapples with the central question posed by the book's title. For a more complete review, check out WestervilleOH.IO 's article here: https://open.substack.com/pub/westervilleohio/p/a-life-in-the-public-square-michael?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=49vlpt

Finally, in case you missed it, we sat down with Councilman Heyeck this past year for an interview where he shared some of the stories featured in his book. You can check that out here: https://goodforwesterville.substack.com/p/ep-2-michael-heyeck-westerville-city?r=5ere39

Thank you, Councilman Heyeck, for year years of dedicated service to our Community. You are Good For Westerville.

A day of remembrance and gratitude.

Thank you Eric and Tony for your ultimate sacrifice while protecting and serving our Westerville community.

The Public Service Department appreciates your patience as clean-up efforts continue following the recent winter storm. Snow Warriors have plowed all streets at least once since Sunday, Jan. 25, and are now revisiting areas where the snow hasn’t been pushed all the way back past the curb. Crews will continue targeted clean-up efforts throughout the week as temperatures allow.

We love it when local businesses team up with our locals schools for a great cause!

Family Room Coffee & Bake Shop is promoting artwork from Fouse Elementary 5th Grade art class until January 27th. Over 60 pieces of their artwork are displayed and they are collecting donations for RESCUEDohio - a dog rescue and adoption non-profit. If you are looking to support a great cause while enjoying a cup of coffee and a delicious cinnamon roll, then make your way over to Family Room! (As soon as it's safe, and they are open, of course)

Wow... what a way to close out 2025!

When we were asked to take on bringing back the Westerville Christmas Parade, we had no idea it would garner as much love and support as it did in the first year returning! YOU all made that possible.

The parade wouldn't have been a success without each and every participant, sponsor, business, volunteer, and attendee who braved the cold, and came together to celebrate the Christmas Season!

As we start planning for the 2026 parade, we would love for you to take a moment to complete the survey linked in the comments.

❄️We look forward to celebrating with you again in December❄️
