MPEDC schedules public 'fireside chat' to address online accusations
Summary
Mount Pleasant Economic Development announced a public meeting at VeriBank to answer community questions and address what the EDC called misleading and false online accusations; the event is tentatively scheduled for Friday evening.
Nathan Tafoya of Mount Pleasant Economic Development told the joint meeting the EDC has called a public "fireside chat" at VeriBank to provide a relaxed forum for community questions and to respond to misleading or false statements circulating online. "We have a we've called a public meeting just to have a fireside chat with the community," Tafoya said, describing it as an opportunity to provide context from the EDC perspective.
Tafoya said the meeting is loosely set for about 6:30 p.m. on Friday and invited citizens who have questions to attend. When asked by the presiding official whether the time was Friday at 5 p.m., the schedule was clarified on the record as approximate; the meeting advertisement or EDC communication should be consulted for the final time.
The statement was an informational announcement recorded during public comment; no council action was taken at the joint meeting to direct or require the session. The announcement provides a public point of contact where community members can raise concerns directly with MPEDC staff.
