LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – For the second time this year, Zoyal Market has been denied a beer permit. The market made a second application when a church next door was being remodeled.  WATCH HERE.
   It was the opinion of Lafollette City Attorney Reid Troutman that the market did not fit the criteria for a permit. The market is located too close to the Mercy Church of God in the East Gate Center.

Ordinance 2019-05 amending the Occupational Safety and Health Program Plan had its final reading.

A special called meeting will be held on Monday (Sept 9) at 1 pm to open bids for road repairs at South 13th street and Loop Rd and for the approval of the fire truck repair as an emergency need.
