Gov. Mike Easley announced that the official, free, 2008 North Carolina Travel Guide is available.

The new guide includes a special pull-out map of the state and details on activities that can be shared by the entire family, grandkids to grandparents.

You can get a copy of the guide by calling 1-800-Visit NC (800-847-4862) or on the web at www.visitnc.com, or you can go directly to the page to request a copy of the 2008 North Carolina Travel Guide.

From The Cherokee Scout: “Residents and business owners are invited to see the preliminary copies of the newly updated Flood Insurance Rate Map on Tuesday, January 15, 2008, at the Cherokee County Courthouse. The maps will be on display beginning at 6:00 pm, and a presentation on the material will begin at 6:30 pm.”

“The new maps can be viewed before the meeting at either the county mapping/GIS office at 39 Peachtree Street or in the mapping office at 59 Hiwassee Street. The offices are open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday.”
