Eaton will now bring his expertise, knowledge, and adaptablility to Morristown Landing, which is expected opening in Fall 2022.

Eaton stated “To be a great leader you must inspire your team. You help provide the vision and mission, and they will deliver; they will take ownership. I am honored for the opportunity to be the General Manager of Morristown Landing. It’s a state-of-the-art facility surrounded by a fantastic community, and so deserving of this incredible venue.” In relation to his new role as the General Manager, he added “As the GM our mission is to create a world class event and recreation facility with diversified, innovative programming permeating a broad landscape in the community. Some of that programming will include fitness and sports to corporate events and culinary classes. There will be something for every guest that walks through the venue door, and my team will welcome everyone with passion and a commitment to excellence and exceeding expectations.”
