CHILLICOTHE— Members of Chillicothe City Council were recently tasked with finding a new place to hold council meetings. While they looked at multiple spots in the Downtown Chillicothe area, a new option recently opened up that will save the city money and allow council guests to enjoy recent renovations. The Armory in Yoctangee Park was restored through the Appalachian Community Grant, which also funded other upgrades in the park, including the skate park , pickleball courts, and multi-purpose building. The state recently approved the city to use this restored building as county chambers until a new permanent home is found. Chillicothe City Council President Kevin Shoemaker announced during the Oct. 26 meeting that the Nov. 9 meeting would take place at the armory. Regular meetings of the Chillicothe City Council are held on the second and fourth Monday of every month and are open to the public.
