Consideration was given to attracting more food trucks to the city.

Flag banners purchased by Bradley County Chamber of Commerce have been put in place.

  1. Correction needs to be made to this article. Chuck Cannon Is the one doing all the improvements to the building that Marsha’s Pastime will be in

    1. Yes Chuck Cannon started renovating his building way before I inquired about renting it. He has done a fabulous job and I will only be renting it for my new business .
