Dedicated to keeping Centerville strong, connected, and prepared for the future.

Meet Gina Hirst

As a licensed civil engineer and current City Councilmember, Gina brings expertise in planning, funding, and building strong infrastructure. She is committed to protecting Centerville’s hometown, family-friendly feel while preparing for future growth.

Priorities & Progress

I’m proud of the progress we’ve made together, and I remain committed to these priorities as Centerville continues to grow:

  • Fund essential services responsibly by making thoughtful, sometimes difficult choices—like adjusting fees when needed—to ensure long-term reliability of drinking water, flood protection, and other critical infrastructure

  • Invest in strong infrastructure by maintaining roads, utilities, and public facilities through fair funding and long-range planning

  • Guide smart growth by completing the General Plan update and ensuring residents have meaningful opportunities to shape development decisions

  • Expand recreation and amenities by adding facilities like pickleball courts and playgrounds in cost-effective ways that respond to community demand

  • Pursue grants and partnerships to bring in outside funding—such as the $1.5M federal grant for the water tank—that reduces the city’s share of major projects

Listening First

Gina believes in collaboration. She values community input, honors Centerville’s heritage, and makes data-driven decisions to guide the city forward. She has also fought to extend opportunities for residents to share feedback, ensuring community voices are heard.
