People visiting the Gracie S. Floyd Event Center at McFall's Landing in Anderson County will notice some improvements this spring.

“Anderson County made these improvements at McFall's Landing because Ms. Floyd was a cornerstone in the community and she was the biggest champion for McFall's Landing facility renovations back in 2009," said Matt Schell, the Anderson County parks department manager.

Schell said the county extended the patio on the top deck outside the event center and added two benches on the patio where people can sit outside and enjoy the view of Broadway lake.

“I think the improvements will actually encourage people to stay longer," said Schell. "We actually don’t have outdoor seating at McFall's, so it’s really the benches that will give people a sitting space.”

A bench donated by Anderson District 5 in memory of Gracie Floyd was also installed on one of the docks overlooking the lake. It was made by the Anderson Institute of Technology.

“We thought, as a school district, it was appropriate for us to do something in her memory," said Dick Smith, with Anderson District 5. "Broadway Lake was a big project of hers, and they really worked on that, and you could call Gracie for anything.”
