Town Council Meeting April 9, 2024
Special Presentations & Requests
At the April 9 meeting, Courtney Mailey, Program Manager of Virginia’s Main Street America (VMS) Coordinating Program, gave a presentation to Town Council. The Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development’s (DHCD) VMS program helps communities across Virginia create lasting impact in their downtowns and commercial districts. Courtney, along with Tazewell Today President and Town of Tazewell I/EDA Chairperson, Cara Spivey, provided statistical insights on the impact our Main Street has witnessed through the program. In 2020, Tazewell Today worked alongside the Town of Tazewell to procure the prestigious Virginia Main Street designation. Tazewell Today continues to carry on the vital role of coordinating with Courtney and DHCD to spur economic development, and to maintain this designation.
Town Council recognized new business, Haus of Taylor, welcoming owners Michael and Mary Blevins. Located at the beautifully renovated 113 Fincastle Turnpike, Haus of Taylor features fine art and curated goods. A recent inaugural gallery opening of Faith Framed: Sacred Artistry in Lens & Brush showcased their Luther Taylor brand original paintings and artwork.
