Pulaski council discusses fire fallout

A Monday morning fire that destroyed the historic Pulaski Railway Station and a town museum has also displaced the Greater Pulaski Alliance.

In addition to discussing the future of the train station and museum, on Tuesday evening Town Council took up the question of how to help the alliance, a group of businesses and residents working on ways to revitalize the town's economy.

The alliance had just gotten up and running before the fire broke out, Councilman Larry Clevinger said. Now the alliance finds itself homeless and without both a computer and a telephone just as registration for the winter farmer's market is ongoing.

Town Manager John Hawley suggested that some temporary office space might be found in the Municipal Building. Some public monies might also be available to help the group lease office space somewhere else in town, officials said.
