The Town Council of Lewisville, NC, convened on January 1, 2025, to discuss various community updates and upcoming events. The meeting began with announcements regarding the Christmas tree pickup, which is set to start on Monday, January 5. Residents are reminded to place their live trees, free of lights and ornaments, at the curb by 6 AM.

The council also highlighted the annual e-cycle event, organized by Waste Management, scheduled for Saturday, January 18, from 9 AM to 1 PM at Shallowford Square. A list of acceptable electronics for recycling can be found on the town's website. Additionally, town offices will be closed on January 20 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Looking ahead, the next winter art show, themed "Loving Life in Lewisville," will take place on February 7 at the Mary Alice Warren Community Center from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Artists of all ages, from kindergartners to adults, are invited to submit their artwork through January. A CPR class is also scheduled for February 8, with ten spots still available, and a blood drive will occur on February 12 from 1 PM to 5:30 PM at the same community center.

The meeting included a discussion on potential hazardous weather conditions. Public Works Director John provided an update on the forecast, indicating a possible ice storm that could lead to downed trees and power outages. Residents are advised to prepare for potential power loss and to stay informed through the town's social media channels.

John emphasized the importance of keeping roads clear for snow plows and urged residents to remove vehicles and trash cans from the streets to facilitate safe and efficient snow removal. He noted that the town's plowing operations depend on the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) clearing primary roads first before moving to secondary roads.

The meeting concluded with a reminder for residents to stay safe and prepared as winter weather approaches, ensuring that the community is ready for any challenges that may arise.
