🌄 Big things are happening in Andrews!

After a couple months of behind-the-scenes work, we’re excited to share some news:

The Town of Andrews is partnering with the NC Department of Commerce’s Office of Rural Planning to create a **community-driven Economic Development Plan** over the next 10 months.

This is a huge step forward—and we'll use Andrews Vision to build momentum and channel community input into the planning process.

Earlier this spring, a group of local leaders and volunteers visited **West Jefferson** to learn how they revitalized their downtown. We came back inspired and ready to get to work 💪

You may have noticed we paused Action Team meetings—now we’re getting ready to restart with fresh energy and a clear direction!

✨ Coming soon:
• More ways to get involved
• Support for local businesses
• Volunteer opportunities for events
• Chances to help shape the future of Andrews

This is just the beginning—and we’re so glad you’re part of it.
