Morristown Officials say a Road that’s been closed due to a fire that destroyed a historic building has re-opened

The City of Morristown says traffic in front of the Parks-Belk Building has reopened to the public.

The intersection of S. Cumberland Street and Main Street has been closed since the building was intentionally set on fire in January.

A Firefighter was injured in that fire and a man arrested and charged with arson, reckless endangerment, burglary and vandalism. He had reportedly planned to burn more buildings, with investigators finding fire-starting equipment stashed in buildings downtown.
