At the start of the May 7 Town Council Meeting, Town Manager Seth Eckard announced that continued discussion of town financing for Valdese Lakeside Park is on hold for this budget year. This is due to the fact that the town must focus on a new priority that has come to light which will be revealed at the June 4 Town Council Meeting.
That means there will be no tax adjustment to build the park all at once as had been discussed at the May 1 Council Workshop.
