LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – The City of La Follette is scheduled to hold its regular monthly workshop on Monday at 5:30pm at city hall.

Among the items on the agenda is a La Follette Beer Board violation notice for the Red Roof Market, located at the corner of Central and Indiana Avenues. More discussion is expected surrounding the status of Postmark La Follette’s usage of the old La Follette Post Office on South Tennessee Avenue.

At the March regular monthly council meeting, Karen Cumorich, a representative from Postmark, approached the council about the possibility of a 24 month lease on the building for zero dollars. After a brief discussion, Councilman Mark Hoskins requested Postmark bring a proposal to the council of its best offer on the building. Hoskins requested the proposal be brought to the council in April and the council will decide at that time. The council also discussed the possibility of declaring the building as surplus and selling it through a realtor or at auction.
