WORTHINGTON Strike up the band!
The “Amazing” Worthington City Band, which had a shorter season and limited participation in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will return at full strength with a summer concert series that starts with the traditional Memorial Day opener.
One thing will be different, though the venue.
Due to planned work throughout the summer in Chautauqua Park, the city band will perform in another one of Worthington’s well-loved sites along Lake Okabena Centennial Park.

Worthington’s local option sales tax was initiated just over a year ago. While 2020 has been a year fraught with health and economic circumstances many have never before experienced, sales tax collections point to the strength and resilience of our local economy. The city’s 15-year or $25 million budget is tracking close to the projections we anticipated when we brought the question to the voters in 2018. Monthly sales tax collections for the last six months of 2020 have averaged just over $96,000, exceeding our budgeted projection of $94,800.

Parks have long been one of this community s most visible amenities, and there has been multiple investments made to enhance these spaces over the course of the year.
These projects represent Phase One of the total local option sales tax projects approved by city voters in November 2018. Here s a short rundown of some of the Worthington parks and improvements they ve received:
BUSS FIELD: A new restroom building was constructed near the parking lot.
CENTENNIAL PARK: A new shelter house nearly identical to the old structure, with its architecture complementing the new Beach Nook building, has gone up. New playground equipment has been added at the park, complete with a replaced safety surface. Trail work in the vicinity of the Beach Nook has also been done.
