BROWNSVILLE, Tenn. A historical building, damaged from the recent winter storm, has left residents wondering about its future.
On Feb. 22, snow and ice that accumulated on the roof of the Ann Marks Performing Arts Center started to melt. But that melting caused the roof of the building to collapse.
Now, Haywood County officials are trying to save the historic building.
“It is a very nostalgic thing. Very few communities have such a theatre,” said Haywood County Mayor David Livingston. “We have always cherished it. It’s utilized tremendously.”
“A lot of history here on these grounds. Our building is used throughout the whole entire West Tennessee area. We’re probably one of the only counties that still actually host a theatre of this magnitude,” said Brownsville-Haywood County Parks and Recreation Department Director Undrae Johnson.

JACKSON, Tenn. Local and state leaders gathered to discuss important issues as we begin 2021. One of them, the Memphis Regional Megasite in Haywood County.
The Southwest Tennessee Development District hosted a legislative meeting on Thursday. A big topic of discussion: the delay of the waste water pipeline at the Memphis Regional Megasite.
“The last big barrier that we knocked down allowed us to begin the process to build a waste water pipeline to the Mississippi, including all of the permitting that was required,” said Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bob Rolfe.
This pipeline has been planned for a while now, but due to the pandemic, the project was halted, meaning they can’t attract tenants to the Megasite.
