Faced with an arena-sized public-relations gaffe, Forsyth County officials quickly decided Thursday to postpone action on plans to build a 50,000-square-foot event center at Tanglewood Park.
People who live in Clemmons West near the park are complaining that they knew nothing of the event center plans until reading about it in Mondayâs Journal, and say an event center that close to their homes will disrupt their lives and spoil their use of the park.
âIt will be very obtrusive and very detrimental to the peace and tranquility we enjoy,â said Robyn Williams, who lives on Maidstone Lane near Tanglewood. âThere is someone from my family walking, biking or running there every single day. I donât go there to walk around a building. I go there to walk around the trees.â
