Discover Downtown Middlesboro Thanks LMU's ENACTUS for work on Better Block Event


Harrogate, Tennessee, November 15, 2013-  Discover Downtown Middlesboro Executive Director Isaac Kremer attended the Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) ENACTUS meeting to present the student organization with a contribution in recognition of its service. ENACTUS members were among the 100 volunteers who contributed over 1,000 hours to DDM's Build A Better Block event which took place October 25-27, 2013. Volunteers worked toward the goal of revitalizing the downtown Middlesboro area by constructing a stage to provide local and visiting musicians a place to perform and completing renovations on downtown landmarks.

This project was funded by an Appalachian Regional Commission Flex-E-Grant through the Kentucky Department for Local Government and administered by Brushy Fork Institute of Berea College.
