TCAPWA EVENTS AND HIGHLIGHTS
Upper East Branch Lunch & Learn By Director Scott Jenkins
On October 28th, the City of Gatlinburg
hosted the Upper East Branch for a Lunch
and Learn event. TCAPWA members
met at Gatlinburg’s Herbert Holt Park,
which is home of Tennessee’s only public
trout farm. The meeting attended by 42
Public Works professionals was presented
by Roadway Management Technologies
(RMT).
Greg Patterson, Gatlinburg City
Manager, welcomed all to the pavilion and
spoke about the current seasonal tourism
trends. TCAPWA members then trolleyed
over to the City’s Public Works Center,
where director Roger Sims gave a tour of
the facility.
Afterwards, RMT gave a presentation
on Practical AI for Public Works:
Modernizing Roadway Lifecycle
Management while attendees enjoyed a
barbecue lunch. Thank you to Gatlinburg
and RMT for hosting us!
