City of Nelsonville

Statutory city council addressed “a lot of talk” on social media, and how to amplify and grow local business.

Operating under the charter at city hall, the council received city updates and approved the 2026 budget Tuesday, with a new city manager.

The council held a brief meeting and long executive session at Hocking College on Monday.

As the month of January moves forward, so does the governmental crisis for the city of Nelsonville.

The city faces a conundrum, with two councils, a disputed form of government, and clashing leadership.

The council remained productive at its regular Monday meeting as the city moves rapidly toward an uncertain future.
