Board appoints Dennis Stanton to event center board and hears river cleanup progress
Summary
The board unanimously appointed Dennis Stanton to the Smoky Mountain Event Center board and received a progress report on river cleanup contracts (three of six active; first group expected complete around the new year). The meeting adjourned.
The Haywood County Board unanimously approved appointing Dennis Stanton to fill an unexpired term on the Smoky Mountain Event Center board. Commissioners noted the board’s prior recommendation and briefed the assembly on Stanton’s local ties.
County staff (Chris) provided a verbal progress report on the county’s river cleanup contracts: three of six awarded contracts are moving quickly with multiple crews on the ground, a couple of DSRs are complete or nearly complete, and the remaining awarded contractors are in the pre‑contract phase (insurance and paperwork). Staff estimated the first three contracts could be complete by the start of the year, with the second group closer to Feb. 1. The board then moved to adjourn.
