JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF)- On behalf of the county commission, Campbell County Fifth District Commissioners and County Mayor Jack Lynch presented the City of Jellico with a $15,000 check on Monday morning to help with the fundraising goal to build a pavilion at the Jellico Farmer’s Market.

“The commission helped fund this project to promote economic development and tourism,” Mayor Lynch said.

A representative with the Jellico Farmer’s market had addressed the county commission at its workshop back in August requesting funds to help fund a Pavilion for the Farmer’s Market in Jellico.

They received a USDA grant for $75,000 to use on the project and have raised another $7,000, “dollar by dollar” but will still be short on funding.

Once the project is done, it’s “going to look like the old Depot in Jellico.”

Jellico Fire Chief Keith Blair received an award from the East Tennessee Development District recognizing the department’s work in procuring a grant for a new pump truck. County Mayor Jack Lynch presented Blair with the certificate on Monday morning at Jellico City Hall.
