Clyde Mayor Jim Trantham called the monthly meeting of the Town Board to order Dec. 10 with Mayor Pro Tem Frank Lay II, and aldermen John Hemingway, Dann Jesse and Diane Fore in attendance.
Alderman Jesse brought the board up to speed on the August offer by Pastor Roy Watkins to donate the building Louisa Chapel to the town.
The church closed in May due to declining membership. It is the oldest Methodist Church in Haywood County, so Watkins, who was the churchâs last pastor, is working with Methodist Church leaders to preserve the landmark.
Jesse, who represents the town on the Haywood County Historical and Genealogical Society, said the group has been meeting with church leaders and concluded the town wasnât in a position to support the project for now.
