Help EDA with Financial Support!

Are you excited? I know I am! There are so many amazing things going on right now in our community. Outdoor recreation has been picking up – hiking, paddling, cycling – just getting outside to enjoy our beautiful landscape. The Mack Theatre is well on its way to redevelopment for a variety of uses. More prospective small business owners are getting their plans lined out and taking the plunge. More leaders are believing in themselves to step up and move the community forward. Community events are becoming more frequent – nearly to the point that it’s difficult to schedule anything around everything else. Original music by amazing local and regional artists is ringing through our hills and hollers and making our mountain air all that much sweeter. And did I mention TRAINS? We are well on our way to hosting a premier tourism and heritage destination right here in our little corner of the world. And do you know what all these incredible developments have in common? Estill Development Alliance has had a role in making them happen or keeping them moving. And do you know what else? We need YOU to be a part of keeping this ball rolling! Please consider a recurring or one-time contribution to keep EDA growing and making our community shine!
