July 4th 2020 is going to look different in Maggie Valley. Unfortunately, the Town will not be hosting its traditional Backyard 4th Celebration at the Festival Grounds based upon the state’s prohibition on mass gatherings. This annual event has allowed holiday revelers the opportunity to treat Maggie Valley’s “backyard” as their own for the past seven years. However, the Town of Maggie Valley is steadfast in its commitment to providing our community with a fantastic fireworks display – the same fireworks display that has amazed crowds year in and year out. The decision to hold fireworks in Maggie Valley was simple; this greatest American holiday allows us the opportunity, regardless of circumstances, to honor our beloved nation’s most sacred values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Those visiting for the day will be welcomed to Town by a number of unique restaurants and shops, looking forward to making this Independence Day a memorable one. We invite you to enjoy all that our town has to offer, including our four creekfront parks. Due to state regulations guests should not expect a special events atmosphere featuring live music or mobile souvenir or food vendors. The Town encourages our citizens and visitors to watch the fireworks from locations where they can enjoy the show while maintaining the recommended social distance requirements. Unlike years past, the Festival Grounds gates will be closed and the Grounds will not be available for fireworks viewing.  For our residents, we suggest staying at home and watching the fireworks from your deck, patio or yard. For those enjoying July 4th in one of our many lodging venues,

Read Revised Proposed FY 20/21 Budget Ordinance 921 here. At the June 2, 2020 Board of Aldermen Budget Work Session I ; the Town Board asked that these modifications be made to the budget prior to hosting the Public Hearing on June 2, 2020 at 6:30 PM. Those wishing to comment on the proposed budget may do so in person or provide written comments submitted to the Town Clerk at vbest@maggievalleync.gov. The proposed FY20-21 Budget presented on May 19, 2020 did not recommend any type of fee increases. Based upon conversation held at this meeting and the Budget Work Session I; the revised proposed FY20-21 will include a $1 per month increase to the solid waste fee; the current fee is $5 monthly, the proposed FY20-21 fee will be $6. This slight increase allows the Town of Maggie Valley to capture approximately 60% of its solid waste costs through fee collection. Our fee will remain the lowest among Haywood County Municipalities at $6- Waynesville $9 / Clyde $10 / Canton $13.50. The Board has also requested that $30,000 placed in their Board of Aldermen: Place Making / Economic Development Fund be removed and returned to the General Fund; this action will reduce the proposed fund balance transfer. A minor cost revision regarding the TDA/Wayfinding is also present; the proposed budget allocated $15,000 the revised budget allocates $10,000. This reduction is based upon new cost estimates for the project and Maggie Valley’s proposed share. With these changes/revisions the proposed FY20-21 Fund Balance Transfer is reduced from $123,968 to $72,552. The revised changes to the  Proposed FY20-21 Budget can be observed in Ordinance #921.
