Veterans Memorial Dedication

Thank you Caswell for the amazing support at the Veterans Memorial Dedication. Although it was a wet day, the event was a huge success and we are so fortunate to have this beautiful monument in our town. The ultimate sacrifice provided by those recognized can never be repaid. And thank you for the community's support in making this project a reality, especially Fred and Sallie Smith for their tireless commitment.

Eligible businesses can apply to borrow from $2,500 to $50,000 through a streamlined, online process.
