UT extension county director announces cannery reopening June 9, staff changes
Summary
Hannah Goodson, introduced as a county director for UT extension, said she is changing roles within extension and that the Peerless Road cannery will reopen June 9 with classes planned and appointments being taken.
Hannah Goodson, introduced to the commission as a representative of UT Ag Extension, told commissioners she recently changed roles and is now county director and agricultural and natural-resources agent; she said she will no longer be county 4-H director and that the 4-H position will be advertised this summer.
Goodson said the Peerless Road cannery has been updated and will reopen on Tuesday, June 9. "The paint was chipping off the walls... My team has done a phenomenal job getting out there and literally pouring blood, sweat, and tears out there to repaint the cannery. It's fresh. It's clean. We are ready for our clients to come in. Appointments are already being taken for that," she said. She also noted that Abby Ramsey, the new family consumer science agent, will conduct canning classes.
Why it matters: The cannery and extension programming support local agriculture and food processing for farmers and small producers; reopening can affect local food businesses and 4-H activities.
What happens next: Goodson said the 4-H director position will be filled this summer and classes at the cannery will be scheduled; no formal county action was required or taken at the meeting.
