New Albany Restaurants Transition to Curbside Pickup/Delivery Options

To better facilitate curbside and carry out orders, the City of New Albany took action and approved curbside parking for local restaurants in front of their businesses. New “Curbside Service Parking Spaces” will become available throughout downtown during this emergency and signs are being created and placed as soon as they are fabricated.

“We will continue to work and help our local businesses through this difficult time,” stated Mayor Jeff Gahan.

Below is the list created by Develop New Albany that shows restaurants currently offering curbside pickup and/or delivery options.

A Message From Mayor Gahan Regarding Coronavirus

Hello New Albany.

I wanted to take a few minutes to update you on the information we have regarding the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, and the steps we are taking to protect residents’ health and safety.

Yesterday, I ordered our parks facilities closed for at least the next two weeks in order to combat the spread of COVID-19. Yesterday evening, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidelines that recommend gatherings of 50 or more be suspended for the next eight weeks.

Due to this, we are reducing on-site staffing levels for city staff, and encouraging certain city workers to work from home. However, our public safety teams remain at full staffing, and we are working diligently to bring more police and firefighters on staff each shift to provide assistance.

Many of you have reached out to our office with concerns, so I wanted to address a few of the most common concerns that we have received.

The most common question that we have received is regarding testing for the Coronavirus. I have sent a letter to our local health department, our state health department, and our governor’s office demanding information regarding our State’s capacity to test for the Coronavirus.

Experts are telling us that without testing, our only other option remains social distancing, which is what I am encouraging our residents to do if possible.

If you can work from home during this pandemic, you should.

I understand the financial and emotional strain that this can put on people. I understand that many residents live paycheck to paycheck, and have real concerns about their financial status during this crisis. And that is why I am urging our state and federal leaders to enact emergency legislation to protect people during these uncertain times.

We have to ensure that people who want to be tested can be tested, and those that need to stay home are not suffering a devastating financial loss. I have been and will continue calling on our state and federal leaders to provide the assistance that many of us need.

As we receive more information, we will continue to update the public as best we can with the most current and accurate information. We have set up a website to host updates, and I encourage residents to visit it. It can be found at newalbanycityhall.com/covid19

Please continue to practice best hygiene practices during this time. Wash your hands, cover your coughs and sneezes, and practice social distancing.

If everyone works as a community and does their part, we will get through this together.

Mayor Gahan Announces Closure of Parks to Combat Coronavirus

For the next 14 days, New Albany city parks facilities will be closed to the public for all programming, rentals, and previously approved and permitted events.  This action is being directed to combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus. 

Effective tomorrow (Mar 16th) at 6am, all city parks facilities and shelters will be closed for the next two weeks (March 31st).  National health experts encourage social separation and distancing.  Closing of these city park facilities and shelters in combination with New Albany Floyd County School Corporation’s spring break will hopefully contain the virus and slow its spread. The City of New Albany has one of the most robust parks programming in the metro area.  Any group that has reserved and paid in advance for park reservations, please contact the parks department for a full refund or rescheduling of your event.

Programs involving the New Albany Housing Authority as it relates to homework camp and food distribution will remain as scheduled.

Golf courses will remain open at this time, but indoor rental of the facilities will be closed. 

It is encouraged to continue to use the outdoor areas of city parks, but it is advised to not congregate and follow public health guidelines as it relates to social spacing. 

City operations will remain at full staffing with regular working hours until further notice.

Officials understand that these additional precautions will be difficult and inconvenient but social spacing is the only effective measure to combat the virus according to national health experts.  

Please stay tuned for more information concerning the COVID-19 virus and any additional steps the city of New Albany will be taking to minimize the spread of the virus. Thank you in advance for your understanding and help to keep New Albany healthy and strong.

Additional Investments Expected Along Charlestown Road Corridor

In late February, the city partnered with a private developer to bring new life to the Colonial Manor Development on Charlestown Road.  The project is set to bring over 170 new jobs with salaries above the county average. Other investments in the Charlestown Road Corridor, including new housing options, greenspace and pocket parks, new sidewalks, drainage, lighting, and other safety features are also in the works.

“Infrastructure improvements and incentives to revitalize the Charlestown Road Corridor are moving forward,” stated Mayor Jeff Gahan. “Many thanks to our partners and neighbors in one of New Albany’s most cherished neighborhoods.”

New Living Options

The former Steinert’s location is being redeveloped into 24 apartment units.

24 additional apartment units are being constructed at the former Steinert’s location (near the intersection of Charlestown Road and Silver Street). These units add to the housing boom currently underway in New Albany, bring the total to 720 apartment units that are either under construction or currently planned throughout the City. Other new housing options throughout the city include the Lancaster Lofts (54 micro units at the corner of East Market and Vincennes), the Centenary Church Project (52 units on East Spring Street), the expansion of Charlestown Crossing Apartments (36 units under construction), and others.

New Greenspace and Pocket Parks

Possible locations are being analyzed for new greenspace and pocket parks for the corridor, including the recently acquired former Zesto property on Charlestown Road.

The former Zesto lot is being analyzed for a small greenspace given its unique layout.

The city owns the former Zesto location (at the corner of Charlestown Road and Slate Run Road). Given the unique layout of the parcel, and improvements currently underway along Slate Run Road, greenspace is at the top of the list for potential uses for the property. Greenspace would be much more inviting to the neighborhood and surrounding businesses than the fenced off, cement lot that is currently there. The City is also in negotiations to purchase the former Sonic property along Charlestown Road, and is looking at a variety of uses for the space.

The former Sonic property has sat vacant for years, but the city is weighing new potential uses for the property.

“The type of structure that was utilized for Sonic is very hard to re-sell to a new investor, so the City stepped up and is in the process of purchasing the property,” stated Redevelopment Director Josh Staten. “Possible uses include a micro-park for the nearby neighborhoods, greenspace, or other appropriate commercial uses.”

New Infrastructure Improvements Needed Throughout Corridor

The City is also targeting future infrastructure projects in the area, including connecting areas without sidewalks.

“There are some stretches of Charlestown Road that do not have sidewalks, but are surrounded on each side by sidewalks,” stated Mr. Staten. “We would like to fully connect these areas, and this would also allow us to complete complimentary projects like new drainage, improved lighting, and safer crossings.”

City Officials to Attend Coronavirus Response Meeting - No Known Cases in Indiana at This Time

“Tomorrow morning, city officials will meet with the Floyd County Health Department and other local officials to discuss the community response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19),” stated Mayor Jeff Gahan. “At this time, there are no known cases of Coronavirus in Indiana, but the City of New Albany would like to be prepared in the event of an outbreak. We will continue to update the public on information that we receive regarding the Coronavirus.”

The CDC recommends the following everyday actions that you can take to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses:

• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.

• Stay home when you are sick.

• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.

• Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.

• Follow CDC’s recommendations for using a facemask:

  • CDC does not recommend that people who are well wear a facemask to protect themselves from respiratory diseases, including COVID-19.

  • Facemasks should be used by people who show symptoms of COVID-19 to help prevent the spread of the disease to others. The use of facemasks is also crucial for health workers and people who are taking care of someone in close settings (at home or in a health care facility).

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

• If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.
