City of Gladewater Disaster Declaration – March 2020

by

While the State and County have made Disaster Declarations,  it is in the best interest of the City of Gladewater and its taxpayers that we, too, make a similar declaration.  We want to provide proper acknowledgement of the COVID-19 pandemic, its impact on our city, and the desire to implement any necessary actions or resources needed for the benefit of its citizenship.  This declaration will also better ensure our ability to recoup expenses endured for these measures through any available government relief programs. – Mayor JD Shipp
