“The crossroads partnership is a public-private leadership group dedicated to improving the appearance, value and quality of morristown's central business district, the new 'crossroads district" through preservation, revitalization and economic development.”

“Launching the new farmers market pavilion - worked with the city of morristown to launch the new farmers market pavilion that was completed and opened in july 2015. As noted in 2014, wrote and was awarded to the city a 100,000 grant that was about 1/5 of the expenditure for the new facility. We managed that facility on behalf of the city for the end of the market season, and for firewood sales over the winter. We continued the senior nutrition program voucher program with the morristown hamblen health department whereby eligible seniors could purchase locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables. Worked with a committee of farmers, councilpersons and others to redraft the city ordinance regarding the farmers market that was enacted in 2016. Applied for and approved for the market to have snap benefits for its customers and was accepted into the second year of the aarp fresh savings program. Helped with the tn department of agriculture and farmers market media day - not only did local farmers participate but also the two high school ag classes participated. With grant funds, provided a weatherproof message board and bike racks for the new facility. We held the first farm to table dinner at the new facility in september, 2016. All of these programs with the farmers' market continue throughout 2017.”

“Downtown amenities - crossroads works to make downtown aesthetically pleasing through the provision of hanging baskets and flags down main street. We also held work days to mulch and weed the flower beds and work on the pocket park. We installed brand new led lights in the town's christmas decorations which saved on electrical expenditures and were brighter than the incandescent lights that burned out frequently. We continued to work with the town on the facade grant program. We have completed the led lighting for the pedestrian walkway and began the n. Peavine alley led lighting project.”

“Worked with the downtown merchants - we were able to enlarge our promotions committee and expanded our downtown events to include a tour of wreaths. That event along with small business saturday and christmas downtown encourage more downtown shopping. We also moved our office downtown to a skymart location which made it easier to communicate with and rally the community to work together more successfully. We made arrangements and paid for an attraction sign on i-81, exit 8 that advertised historic downtown morristown. We worked with the preservation planner to put together a downtown morristown historic commercial district which was approved by the tn historic commission and is on its way for approval by the national register of historic places. We are now on the nation register of historic places and are encouraging business owners to improve their buildings in accordance with guidelines of the secretary of interior standards, national parks service.”
