Anderson County has a rich history, from coal mining to pearling, and the rise from agricultural infancy to become a world-leading technological powerhouse.

But what about Anderson County’s future? What is your vision—as a citizen, business leader, or elected official—for Anderson County?

Come share your ideas at a “Visioning Workshop” from 4 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, September 20, in the Club Room at the Clinton Community Center, 101 Hicks Street. Sandwiches will be provided during the event, which was originally scheduled to be at the Anderson Courthouse, a press release said.

The workshop, hosted by Anderson County Commissioner Tim Isbel, will be facilitated by Gary Human, regional director of the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development.

“It is hoped that results from the visioning workshop will be used to develop a vision for Anderson County and determine the related goals, priorities, and action strategies to achieve that vision,” the press release said.

To learn more, contact Isbel by phone at (865) 406-2455 or by e-mail at [email protected].

More information will be added as it becomes available.
