Go Groveport began in the Fall of 2006 as the brainchild of three local community members who also operate businesses in Groveport. The mission was then and still is today to communicate to the community for the community the greatness about living, working and playing in the Groveport area. Go Groveport is membership-based and currently facilitates three separate functions on behalf of the Groveport community: visitors & conventions, retail and civic.
In December of 2006 we opened our office at 607 Main St. This office space serves as a location to facilitate making available friend brochures and flyers to residents and visitors to Groveport.
To accomplish the “conventions” side of things, we coordinate a community expo twice a year for our friends to showcase their business or organization. Residents in and around the Groveport community can meet face-to-face to learn who and what exists in our community. This event is known as “Connect with Groveport” and is held every May and September.
Other events coordinated by Go Groveport include:
In March of 2007 retail operations began at 607 Main St as the Bierberg Mercantile. The mercantile is composed of local-area merchants who buy space to display and sell their wares to the community. The mercantile also contains a seating area for folks to meet and greet. Coffee, tea and homemade cookies are available by donation to all visitors. Currently there are 33 merchants inside the retail space including Cellution Group an authorized Verizon Wireless dealer and Great Harvest Bread Co from Pickerington.
Special events are also coordinated within this space. See below for more information on upcoming events.
In January of 2007 Go Groveport began distributing neighborhood bags to new Groveport Madison residents in homes, apartments and senior living locations. Since the inception of this program 900 bags have been delivered throughout five zip code areas encompassing the Groveport Madison school district. The bags contain “Welcome to Groveport” information from Go Groveport friends regarding their business, organization and events.
In December 2007 Go Groveport facilitated the Groveport Madison Adopt-A-Family program. Together with the community Christmas was fulfilled for 350 children from 107 families in the Groveport Madison School District who needed a little extra help at Christmas.
Plans are in development now for further opportunities to fulfill additional civic necessary events and activities. Stay tuned.
