Williamston Takes Neighborly Approach in Storm Aftermath

Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer

The Town of Williamston is systematically clearing debris and cleaning up neighborhoods, with an approach that is exceptionally neighborly.

Going beyond merely cutting trees and hauling off what’s left along with limbs, the town is assisting those who have had trees fall on their houses and checking on neighbors. Churches and other groups are serving meals and gathering food, not only for local folks in need but for those impacted by the storm in Western North Carolina.

Greg Paige, who is part of the town’s Public Works team, talks about the cleanup and why he is proud of his town in this interview with the Anderson Observer.
