County to Consider EMS Contract, Honor Gracie Floyd

Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer

Anderson County Council will consider a new EMS contract as part of Tuesday's meeting at 6:30 p.m. which will be held this week at the Anderson County Civic Center.

Council is also expected to consider naming at events center at McFalls Landing on Broadway Lake for the late Council Councilwoman Gracie Floyd, who died earlier this year (an appreciation for her appeared in the Anderson Observer).

For more than 21 years, Gracie served Anderson County as council representative for district two, a role she initially accepted with reluctance, following the death of her husband William Floyd, the first African American to serve on Anderson County Council (whose name is on the amphiteater at the Anderson Sports and Entertainment Complex). Council has been considering a way to honor Gracie Floyd since her death. County Councilman Glenn Davis, who was recenlty elected to fill the seat left vacant by Floyd, will outline the decision as part of Tuesday's meeting.

Full agenda here.

The agenda also includes a number of zoning, sewer and economic development items.

At at 6 p.m. honors meeting, council will honor the Crecent High School Anglers Team.
