While Gilbert might be known for its historic white water tower that looms above the old-fashioned buildings and trendy restaurants in its downtown area, there is far more to it than that small stretch of Gilbert Road.
In recent years, Gilbert has grown immeasurably in the population, number of residential properties and commercial presence in town. However, its growth does not mark the completion of the town; rather it marks a renewed effort to increase quality of life, vivacity of the Heritage District, and attraction of companies.
