There will be a Town Hall meeting in Lake City at 3:30 p.m. today (Thursday), during which attendees will be able to see and hear a presentation from Knoxville Businessman Buddy Warren—owner of several companies including Rocky Top Beer and Rocky Top Moonshine as well as the right to the name “Rocky Top, Tennessee”—to discuss his proposal to build a Rocky Top theme park and relocate his bottling company, brewery, and distillery to the Lake City area.
The proposed park would include a Rocky Top sports museum, a coal miners’ theater for live music, an emporium, a restaurant, a 100-bed lodge, an Interactive 3D theater, an indoor water park, and several other amenities, including a new studio for our sister station Merle FM.
The meeting will be held at Lake City Town Hall, and the public is encouraged to come out and learn more about this exciting proposal, which could generate as much as $50 million a year in revenue, which would certainly boost the county’s tax base.

Folks would have to give up their welfare to get a job and that isn’t going to happen. Good luck Lake City!
