It’s been another busy week here in Johnson County, and Dan Cullinane and Sheila Stout Caldwell have plenty to talk about on this week’s podcast.
We start with a look back at Veterans Day and the ceremonies and events held around the county to honor the men and women who have served our country. There were some meaningful messages shared along the way, including an important reminder that showing our appreciation for veterans shouldn’t be limited to one day on the calendar. > READ MORE
Then it’s on to town and county business, including the upcoming December 1 public hearing on the Mountain City zoning amendment request, the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) process and what potential funding could mean for local projects. We also touch on updates from the recent Joint ECD meeting and some questions worth following as these issues move forward.
And, of course, we couldn’t wrap up without talking about some of the activities and events coming up around Johnson County. The holiday season is getting into full swing, and there’s plenty happening in our little corner in the tippy top of Northeast Tennessee! Check out this weekend’s Coming Events!
Also This Week: Around the County with Joey Beth Souder, Director – Mountain City/Johnson County Community Center
Joey Beth joined Sheila to talk about what’s happening at the Community Center, from its ongoing after-school program to a growing lineup of activities for adults and families.
Book clubs, craft nights, game nights, Dungeons & Dragons, mahjong and a Wednesday walking club are just a few of the ways the center is bringing people together.
We also get to know Joey Beth a little better, learn about her vision for the center and hear about efforts to connect local organizations and encourage more community involvement.
If you haven’t visited the Community Center lately, you might be surprised by everything going on!
