The Sevier County Board of Commissioners' Intergovernmental Committee voted Dec. 7 to proceed with updates to the Pigeon Forge Convenience Center following staff presentations on convenience-center leases and planned site improvements.

Assistant County Mayor Matt Rudder told the committee staff are working to update lease agreements for all county convenience-center locations, including expanded and new sites. Rudder and Vice Mayor Bryan McCarter provided details specific to planned changes at the Pigeon Forge site, and Commissioner Carroll Rauhuff moved to proceed with the updates. Commissioner Chuck Godfrey seconded and the motion passed unanimously (vote tally not specified).

The committee did not specify funding sources or a project schedule during the meeting. The updates are part of a broader review of convenience-center leases and operations that Rudder said will cover existing, expanded and proposed locations.

Next steps: staff will move forward with the planned updates to the Pigeon Forge Convenience Center and follow up with the committee as details on scope, costs and timing become available. The committee recorded the procedural vote and did not adopt any ordinance or budget amendment at this meeting.
