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
Forsyth County may soon take a big step forward on building a big event center at Tanglewood Park, making it possible for the county to hold concerts, expositions and other indoor events like Winston-Salem does at the fairgrounds.
The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners are expected to vote on July 29 whether to enter into a contract with Shelco LLC for a maximum amount of $450,000 for design and other pre-construction services on the center, which has a $5 million budget.
Shelco would use the services of Walter, Robbs, Callahan & Pierce-Architects for architectural work.
Tanglewood Park is moving forward with plans for an event center that would be larger than both the Annex and Education buildings at the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds.
