Town Council Meeting January 13, 2026

The monthly Town Council meeting was held on January 13, 2026.

As part of their ongoing efforts to acknowledge the efforts made by those investing in our community, Town Council recognized new business Mountain Laurel Mercantile and Hardware. Their diverse offerings range from an old fashion mercantile, to a gift store, bookstore, and hardware store, all under one roof. Operated by Renee and Darren Adair, Mountain Laurel Mercantile is located at 1676 Fincastle Turnpike.

After review of the applicants for the Councilmember seat left by the recent shift from Council to Mayor made by Mayor Beasley, Town Council selected Elisabeth Takach to fill the vacancy. Charity Hurst, the Tazewell County Clerk of Court, swore in newly appointed Councilmember Takach, who will fill role until the regular election in November 2026. Congratulations to Councilmember Takach on this appointment!
