Thank you to NC Commerce Secretary Lee Lilley and Assistant Secretary of Rural Economic Development Reginald Speight for visiting last week to review progress on the Village Streetscape project. NC Commerce awarded the Village $5.5 million to construct the streetscape portion of the Raise the Rock plan. This will rebuild our streetscape from the Lake Lure town limits to the center of the Village. We also received a Carbon reduction grant through the efforts of DOT to build the streetscape on the west edge of downtown. Thank you to all our partners who are working hard on the Village’s behalf to rebuild and restore our beautiful Village
