ELIZABETHTON — The latest effort at cleaning up the downtown area of Elizabethton was a success, according to the anti-litter organization Keep Carter County Beautiful. Six community partners came together on Sunday, Aug, 11 to host a cleanup campaign for downtown. Four non-profit organizations Meet the Mountains, Responsible Stewardship, Keep Carter County Beautiful and Main Street Elizabethton partnered with two downtown Elizabethton businesses, Hellbenders Outfitters and Riverside Taphouse.
This is the second year in a row that Meet the Mountains and Responsible Stewardship have worked to improve the community. Community volunteers cleaned up trash and litter from the Covered Bridge Park, parking lots behind downtown businesses, the Tweetsie Trail in front of Elizabethton High School and the linear Trail at the Broad Street Bridge..
