Mayor’s State of the City Address – July 4, 2010

Good evening and Happy Birthday Tega Cay!

I have been looking forward to this day with excitement and a nervous anticipation.  This celebration gives me the opportunity to talk with you about our extraordinary city.

I don’t have to tell you that the last few years have been challenging, but despite our hardships, our City is strong. The saying goes “adversity doesn’t build character, it reveals it”.  I believe that in these times Tega Cay’s strong character has not just been revealed, it is what has allowed us to excel. The character of the people in Tega Cay is demonstrated through their willingness to step up and do what’s necessary.  It shows in our volunteers, our staff and our elected officials’ commitment to working as a team, to meet challenges and their desire to keep looking ahead and planning for a great future. It is because of the extraordinary character of our community, we can say, a great city starts here. Read the rest of this entry »

The following email was sent to Tega CAy residents yesterday by Mayor George Sheppard.

February 17th 2010

From Your Mayor……..

For many months now, many of you have been asking how our City had become involved in talks concerning a potential LPGA event coming to our course.  The following will hopefully explain how the City became involved and where discussions are currently.

In July 2009, Special Events Unlimited (SEU) sought out and approached the City of Tega Cay offering to facilitate a Ladies Professional Golf Association tournament in Tega Cay scheduled for the fall of 2010.  SEU requested that the City provide seed funding in the amount of $500,000 to bring the proposed $7.2 million event to Tega Cay.  Although the City declined to provide such funding, the City and SEU continued to discuss the potential of such an event.  In September of 2009, SEU’s formal intent to site the LPGA event was made public, even as the Tega Cay Golf Course greens resurfacing project was underway.   Read the rest of this entry »
