DATELINE: PULASKI LENGTH: Short
The room would be in the former Martin's Pharmacy building at 12 W. Main St. The pharmacy is now across the street at 57. W. Main, with the recently opened 4,000-square foot Court Square Antiques and Collectibles on its second floor.
A community room would require a conditional-use permit for the B-3 (downtown) zoning. The town Planning Commission will recommend that the request be approved as submitted.
The room could be rented to civic organizations for functions seating up to 75 people. The Elks Club would use it for Saturday-night bingo games.
There also are plans to use the room for monthly health screenings that have been held in the Pulaski office of state Sen. Malfourd "Bo" Trumbo and Pulaski Main Street Inc. at 67 W. Main St. Those offices have been sponsoring the screenings along with Pulaski Community Hospital and the New River Valley Rescue Squad.
C&S Galleries will open an office at 67 W. Main St., so the Trumbo and PMI offices will move to new quarters a few doors away on Main Street in a building being renovated by Marlis Ryssel-Flynn, who is expanding her own Believe It or Else consignment boutique business on Main Street.
