Cheryl Grossman
Mayor of Grove City
Mayor Cheryl Grossman is this year’s recipient of CBR’s Citizen of the Year award. She began her career in local politics as Grove City Council President, served on the Grove City Planning Commission and, in 1995 was elected to serve as Mayor.
She attributes her success in politics to working hard at being responsive to Grove City residents and businesses. She says the often-untold story of her success is found in every corner of our community. From the heartfelt commitment of our proud volunteers, to the many public and private entities that work with the City to make us all stronger – this is the foundation for any successful venture. Grove City’s citizens are second to none.
Her most beneficial community involvement from a political standpoint is the partnerships the City has formed with our federal, state, county, school, township, and chamber representatives. Grove City is a leader because we all work together.
For anyone interested in a career in public service, Mayor Grossman advises “Be fair, above all else. You need to be able to listen and make decisions based on what is right for the people you represent. And it’s important to be creative. Sometimes, swimming against the stream reaps the most rewarding outcomes.”
On receiving this award, Mayor Grossman stated, “I am truly honored to know that the Columbus Board of REALTORS® has acknowledged my efforts on behalf of the people and businesses of Grove City. But this is not my award…this is Grove City’s award. It is earned because many hearts and minds and hands work together everyday in Grove City to build upon our success.”
