Businesses and neighbors bring beauty downtown

The Corbin Main Street Design Committee would like to extend its heartfelt thanks to all the people who contributed their time and talent this past May 13th when work commenced on the Corbin Main Street plant-scape. It was a huge undertaking which could not have been possible without the tireless efforts of many people.

First, we are so grateful to Lowe’s Home Improvement of Corbin. Store manager Jerry Henderson, project manager Christy Rose, and a dozen Lowe’s associates rolled up their sleeves and provide invaluable help. Their spirit and work ethic was evident throughout this project, and it could not have been accomplished without them.

Thanks are also in order for Bobbie and Walt Smith of Antiques & Accents for creating and delivering such beautiful planters, and to the Andy White family for their time and hard work.

Last, but certainly not least, we want to thank the Corbin Public Works Department. Gary Kelly and his staff were tremendous with their willingness to help.

Throughout this experience, we made new friends and saw firsthand what can be achieved when neighbors help neighbors.

Hand in hand we have worked together toward a common goal of a more beautiful downtown.

Charlene Blair,

Corbin Main Street Design Committee Chair
