Town Welcomes Leadership Yancey County program

On December 15th, Town Manager Heather Hockaday led a local government session with the Leadership Yancey County program. A collaborative  effort of the Yancey Chamber of Commerce and Yancey Cooperative Extension, the program  focuses on developing future leaders for our area. The group meets once a month and focuses on topics such as small business, local government, health and human services, tourism, education, and agriculture.

Mrs. Hockaday discussed several aspects of Town business such as local government structure, services provided, zoning, and infrastructure projects. Attendees were able to ask questions and gain greater insights into the day to day of their Town government.
