PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (WVLT) – It’s an event that’s grown s
popular, city leaders in Pigeon Forge met Thursday with elected officials to update them on plans for this year’s car show
A change coming in laws later this year will change parts of the event as vendors won’t be able to advertise cars that are for sale on The Parkway.
You can see cars parked on the Parkway with ‘for sale,’ or a simple price.
A new agreement about the public right of way will make this illegal for shows years to come
Going forward the new sublease calls for no commercial activity in the state right of way, so you wouldn’t be able to sell a vehicle in the state right of way going forward,” said Eric Brackins, Assistant City Manager.
Pigeon Forge leases the right of way from the state for additional parking at businesses and then subleases the spots to businesses to maintain. The agreement just made with the state of Tennessee limits even more the commercial activity that can take place on these spaces.
“That’s always been in there, that no advertising is allowed in the state right of way, so it just clarifies it in the new sub lease,” said Brackins.
