Starting Dec. 1, 2025, contractors will be on-site at the Haywood County parking deck located at 143 Branner Ave. in Waynesville to begin replacing both elevators.
The elevators currently in use are more than 20 years old and upgrading them is necessary to keep things running safely and smoothly. The project will take about six months to complete.
While the work is happening, there will be one working elevator at a time, and contractors may have equipment in the deck that temporarily blocks certain spots.
Haywood County Maintenance and Facilities Director Tim Sisk said the project is an important step forward.
“These elevators have served us for over two decades, and it’s time for an upgrade,” Sisk said. “Once the work is finished, we’ll have state-of-the-art elevators that make the parking deck safer, more dependable and easier to use for everyone.”
We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation while this work is underway. These improvements will make a big difference, and we’re excited to bring the community better, more reliable equipment.
More updates will be shared as the project moves along.
