The Lyman Town Council held their regular monthly meeting on Nov. 10, which was the first meeting led by new mayor David Petty. The council discussed a range of issues, including the appointment of a new Mayor Pro Tempore and the formation of a Community Care Committee to assist residents with small projects. The council also approved a donation to the Middle Tyger Community Center and a new ordinance designating Vernon Street as a right-turn-only exit onto US Highway 29. An ordinance to rezone property owned by the Boiler Tube Company of America was passed despite the town's Planning Commission recommending denial of the application, and the 2026 schedule of Town Council meetings was passed.
