Dyersburg aldermen say warming shelter and farmer—s-market hookups are available during cold nights
Summary
During the Jan. 21 meeting council members reported an open warming site at a church and a day shelter contact, discussed outreach to homeless residents and confirmed locations and hookups for a food-truck park at the farmer's market.
Councilors reported on services for people experiencing homelessness and on plans for food trucks during the Jan. 21 Dyersburg City Council meeting.
An alderman asked whether the city had a warming place available for very cold nights. The mayor said a church at the corner of Broadway and East Court operates a manned facility and that the city has been in contact with Tennessee Homeless Solutions about a day shelter on Mill Avenue. The mayor said staff and volunteers have engaged with people living outdoors to share information and bring food; he said the sites are known to those outreach teams but did not reference a formal citywide advertisement listing.
Separately, Coach Cole asked about the previously discussed food-truck park. City staff said planned locations include the farmer—s market and that hookups for water and electricity will be available at no charge. Council member Ricky asked to schedule a future recreation meeting; the mayor said staff would do so.
No formal council action was recorded on the warming site, outreach efforts or the food-truck locations; the items were reported as part of council updates.
