A rumor regarding Iolas downtown Christmas light displays being turned off this year are just that a rumor.
Assistant City Administrator Corey Schinstock told the Register this morning the city will look at its Christmas lights in the coming days, to ensure Iolas aging lights are still usable.
Schinstock noted a group of volunteers spearheaded efforts last year to install new lights around several downtown businesses surrounding the courthouse square.
Those are a little different style of lights than what the city has, Schinstock said.
The only way Iolas lights would remain dark is if its determined they are not working and cannot be repaired, Schinstock said.
