Juleigh Sitton worked as a municipal attorney for North Carolina’s newest town Fontana Dam. The town was welcomed by North Carolina’s state legislature on June 8th, 2011. Juleigh Sitton worked with Fontana Dam’s town council to implement a new water treatment facility, among other victories, while employed there.
Fontana Dam had been unincorporated since 1941, founded to accommodate local workers and their families during World War II. The TVA Fontana Dam was an essential piece of infrastructure that played a key role in bringing WWII to a close. It is the largest dam in the eastern United States. Fontana Village Resort is the largest private employer in the county. During the summer, the Resort hires more than one-hundred employees; during winter, the core staff is usually about fifty. But at the time of the incorporation, only thirty residents called Fontana Dam home. Officially incorporating Fontana Dam was a community effort, finally giving residents the rights to be associated with North Carolina’s other cities and towns. The act also allowed the town to access state funds for infrastructure development. Fontana Village Resort and TVS Fontana Dam host more than one hundred thousand visitors per year. Besides being the most massive dam on the American East Coast, the scenic mountainside community is popular with tourists, especially hikers. JuleIgh Sitton loves to hike; she felt passionately about incorporating Fontana Dam so more people could enjoy the trails and visit the bustling town. She suggests exploring Fontana Dam once in your life. It’s a sight to behold.
