Proposal floated to move Weaverville tailgate to 40-acre private site
Summary
At the same Jan. 12 meeting, a council member described an offer from a property owner (Mr. Davis) to host the Weaverville tailgate and other events on a 40-acre site with parking that could avoid closing Main Street; council discussed logistics and potential benefits.
A council member described a proposal at the Jan. 12 workshop from a local property owner, Mr. Davis, to relocate the town’s tailgate event to a privately held 40-acre site that would offer large parking areas and a potential parade route, and the council discussed whether the town could use the site for events without closing Main Street.
The speaker said the owner is keen to attract visitors and suggested the site could accommodate staging and spectator lines along an old lane around the property; the proposal was presented as an option to reduce wear on the community center and avoid downtown closures for big events.
Council members noted the property’s roughly 40 acres and suggested the town could explore the option further through conversations with the owner and event organizers. No formal decision was made; the meeting moved into closed session shortly afterward.
