CCCRA Celebrates 10th Anniversary

November 6, 2008: CCCRA celebrated 10 years of operations with a pot luck supper held at the First United Methodist Church. Here are some of the results of our work:

  • Hayesville's historic courthouse has been rescued from further deterioration, and plans are in place to complete the interior renovation.
  • 15 miles of the Jack Rabbit hiking/biking trail, created in partnership with SABA.
  • New sidewalks in the town of Hayesville.
  • A playground accessible to all children, including the handicapped, created in partnership with Communities in Schools.
  • New plantings on Highway 64 East among the boxwoods that have stood for decades as the entry way to Hayesville.
  • The first stages in the construction of Nelson Heritage Villiage, in partnership with the Historical and Arts Council.
