Government leaders also attended the festivities, including State Senator William Demora; State Rep. Mary Lightbody; Minerva Park Mayor Tiffany Southard and Councilmembers Mark Brugger, Jason Camara, and J.P. Martin; Blendon Township Trustee Cathy Shinaberry; Westerville Vice Mayor Kenneth Wright and Councilmember Megan Reamsnyder. 

Following the ribbon-cutting, Minerva Park Principal Dr. Garrett Carter welcomed students and families for food, activities and self-guided tours to explore the building.
