HandMade in America Program benefits Bryson City

The streets of Bryson City NC will soon be getting  a "facelift"  thanks to Handmade in America's small town revitalization program. The organization has completed the first two phases of the program, which involved town commitment and a series of meetings with community members to understand the vision for the town. The third step is a written plan for renewal, which is scheduled for public unveiling at 7 PM Thursday, August. 25 at the senior center.

"We've got a lot of great, doable ideas, and it's a real reflection of the public information sessions," said Karen Wilmot, executive director of the Swain County Chamber of Commerce. "It's completely driven by those who attended those meetings."

Currently, HandMade in America works with 13 small towns in 10 counties to connect them with funders and resources that support their community projects. Find out more about HandMade in America  Small Towns!
