Here’s a recap of the Oct. 17 Travelers Rest City Council meeting:
Approved: Funding for Poinsett Highway improvements
Council voted on a reallocation of $404,800 from the city’s general fund to its capital fund for the Poinsett Highway Street Improvement project. The goal of the project is to improve amenities for those residing in Travelers Rest but also usher in more tourism. The matter was approved unanimously.
Update: Indie Craft Parade
Travelers Rest will host the Western North Carolina Trade Market’s Indie Craft Parade Nov. 23 in Trailblazer Park.

According to Travelers Rest Marketing, Communications and Programs Director Beth Sicignano, the city is also waiving fees.
