On Monday, December 11th, Clinch-Powell received a check for $1600 from the Grainger County Chamber of Commerce to support the Rutledge Historic Churches Restoration Project. The proceeds will be split evenly between the two historic churches that Clinch-Powell is working hard to get repaired and restored. Both the Rutledge Presbyterian Church and the Henderson Chapel AME Zion Church are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and are in need of repair and restoration. Clinch-Powell owns the Presbyterian Church and is working closely with the Henderson Chapel Council by serving as the fiscal sponsor so that they can apply for grants and other funding opportunities.
We appreciate our local Chamber of Commerce and encourage everyone to follow them on Facebook and become a member if you are a business in Grainger County, TN. Their website is www.graingercochamber.org.
