Whoa. Hold on just a minute there.
That seems to sum up the general response from the public after learning that Forsyth County officials were preparing to sign a contract to break ground on a new event center at Tanglewood Park in Clemmons â one intended to complement the parkâs popular horse barns and trails. At 50,000-square-feet with a $5 million budget, the new facility would be larger than both the Annex and Education buildings at the Winston-Salem Fairground. That would certainly have an impact on what many consider to be a natural oasis on the western side of the county â especially if itâs plunked down in the middle of forest land â and a peaceful haven for local homeowners.
On paper, the plan temporarily shelved last week by the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners to build an event center smack in the middle of Tanglewood Park makes some sense.
At 50,000 square feet, county officials say, the yet-to-be-named center would allow the county to host â and charge a hefty fee to host â concerts, expositions, gun shows and so on, the same way the city does with the Fairgrounds and the Annex.
âTanglewood is already the single-most visited place in the county,â said Dudley Watts, the county manager. âA lot of people know that place. I think it will be well-received by the community of promoters who create events.â
