All National Parks are now working under mandatory 5% sequestration
budget cuts. Great Smoky Mountains National Park reports that budget cuts have resulted in hiring
limitations and slowed planned park maintenance, resulting in the
closing of some park facilities and delayed openings for others for the
2013 season. Get more information about Park schedules and activities HERE.
Work on US 441 is "at this point, slightly ahead of schedule,"
according to Jason Lambert, Director of Commerce for the Eastern Band of
Cherokee Indians. His remarks were made at a Cherokee NC Chamber of
Commerce meeting this morning.
Plates for the Parkway, June 10-13 helps restaurants raise money for
