Mount Gilead showing progress MOUNT GILEAD — Village Administrator Derek Allen reported to village council about progress in a few areas. He cited the Pillar Credit Union building on Meadow Drive that had a ribbon cutting on Friday. Also, the dilapidated HPM structure has mostly been razed as the clearing of that land for future re-development continues. “It’s sad to see that history disappear,” said council member Kay Hines. The Village Service Department has worked on ball diamonds to prepare for baseball and softball seasons. Concession stand and restrooms at the pool are being prepared for use by the leagues this summer.
