Highland Heights will dedicate a newly acquired baseball and recreational field to Mayor Greg Meyers for his more than 30 years of volunteer and community service to the Highland Heights community.
“It was really a no-brainer,” Councilmember John Hoffert said, who made the motion to dedicate the field to Mayor Meyers. “Greg has done so much for this community, and I think it’s only right that this field be named in his honor.”
In 2020, the city purchased the baseball and recreational field, located off of Martha Layne Collins Blvd., from the Northern Kentucky Water District.
In 2021 the Highland Heights City Council voted to dedicate the field to Mayor Greg Meyers for his dedication to the community.
Meyers has been mayor since 2007 and previously served on the Highland Heights City Council, Planning Commission and Board of Adjustments.
“I was truly speechless when the City Council voted to name the ballfield after me,” Meyers said. “To be able to enjoy this honor with my family and fellow citizens of the community is so special. I have lived in Highland Heights for 45 years. I raised my family here. I’ve always wanted to move the city forward and have worked very hard along with a lot of other people to do so.”
The dedication ceremony will take place on April 23 at the Highland Heights ball field, located at 170 Martha Layne Collins Blvd. from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is open to the public. Parking will be available on site.
