Teresa May, Beattyville Main Street Director and Dedra Brandenburg, Beattyville/Lee County Tourism Director will share their story in this webinar, including how their recently announced $499,939 EPA Cleanup Grant to remediate a twostory downtown building fits within their longterm vision for downtown Beattyville.

We'll hear how over the course of 15 years Beattyville expanded their tourism effort and grew lodging and restaurant capacity. Those successes spurred investments in infrastructure and outdoor amenities. And now, Beattyville is working on a renovation of their Main Street.
