I would like to address a couple of reports given in our Tuesday, November 19, 2019 City Council meeting. Two different reports stated that an Event Center was being discussed. A local news forum reported “Event Center Discussed Twice In Council Meeting”. This headline led citizens and others to believe we are discussing this issue.
