MEMORANDUM

TO:                         Mayor Lawrence and Members of the Town Council

 

FROM:                  Scott E. Hildebran, Town Manager

 

SUBJECT:           Chamber of Commerce – Art in the Park Location (September/October)

 

DATE:                   September 9, 2008

______________________________________________________________________

 

Per your direction last month, Blowing Rock Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Charles Hardin and I met to review alternative locations for the two remaining 2008 Art in the Park shows.

Enclosed please find a map of the proposed location for the September and October shows that seems to minimize disruption to the both the neighbors and Art in the Park. The request would allow Art in the Park to utilize the south side of Park Avenue from below the Police Department entrance to Wallingford Street.

The proposed location would allow the north side of the street to remain open for local traffic to access properties. In addition, the Chamber of Commerce has agreed to name the adjoining property owners along the north side of Park Avenue as additional insured on their insurance policy to minimize concerns about general liability.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
