Belton Growth, Progress Highlight 2024

Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer

Belton’s top stories of the year include the partnership with the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office to provide full-time police protection in the city with a substation and full staff of officers, infrastructure improvements and the growth of new housing and businesses.

Like other towns and cities in the county, Hurricane Helene hit Belton particularly hard, including the loss of the annual Standpipe Festival.

Mayor Eleanor Dorn discusses these and other progress from 2024 in this interview with the Anderson Observer.
