The restaurant and bar facility at the Tega Cay Golf and Conference Center has reopened. The restaurant is called Casual Water at Tega Cay and the bar and grill is called the Drop and the Drink Bar and Grille. The Mike Frost Group was awarded a 5 year contract by the city of Tega Cay to reopen the facility in May 2011.

Carmen, Camden and I decided to give the reopened restaurant a try last Friday night. We walked into the main restaurant Casual Water’s and found it about 50% full on Friday about 7:30 pm. There was a new buzz of activity with several waiters on staff. We elected to sit on the patio outside the restaurant between the Bar and Grille and the restaurant since the main restaurant’s room temperature was too cold. (more…)

When you enter The City of Tega Cay, one of the first things you see is a welcome to Tega Cay sign on the left side of Tega Cay Drive.  Soon you’ll also see the Living Memorial Gardens.  A sign marking and announcing the Living Memorial Gardens was posted last week at the entrance of Lakeshore subdivision on Shoreline Parkway.

Tega Cay’s Beautification Committee has planned and is promoting the new city garden. The Living Memorial Gardens will include sidewalks and paths that meander through a variety of picturesque gardens, ornamental trees, shrubs, grasses and structures. Boulders, twenty benches and three bench swings will dot the grounds. (more…)

As another step toward better communication with Tega Cay residents, the City of Tega Cay rolled out their new website including combining all of their departments websites into one new website. The website is by CivicPlus based in Manhattan Kansas who specializes in “next generation” city, county, state and school websites”. The new site went live last Friday.

Here is what Mayor George Sheppard has to say about the City’s new website communication tool:

We have updated the website because the previous site just had too many limitations. With the new website we are able to stream Council meetings for those who don’t have channel 19 or are unable to attend meetings (they are not live, but they are there!). The calendar feature is also an exciting new tool; any resident can sign up to receive alerts of City functions. Once signed up residents will have the option to receive an email or a message to their cell phone reminding them of upcoming events. (more…)
