Longtime Hamilton residents Johnnye Gautier and Pam Eilers are proud of their great-neice, 12-year-old actress Haddie Mac, who has been touring on the North American Broadway Tour of “The Sound of Music for almost a year, including a recent stint at the Bass Concert Hall in Austin.
Sharing some highlights from our City Council meeting held for the month of February. There was an agenda item pertaining to Tractor Supply. It was to annex the 6.817 acres into the city. This will allow Hamilton to be able to collect property tax and sales tax revenues, VIA Real Estate owns Tractor Supply buildings and Tractor Supply leases from them. On Monday, Feb. 9, the completed building was turned over from the construction contractor to Tractor Supply, who is now in the process of assembling all of the shelving/ display material and putting up product on shelves. I went out to Tractor Supply today and met with the new store manager, Dillon Hofstetler. They are planning a soft opening on March 14 followed by the grand opening on March. 21. Exciting times for Hamilton for sure.
