Lewis County Government was recently awarded a $3,000 grant from the Walmart Community Grants Team and Hohenwald Walmart - Store 1115.
Last week Ronda Turner, Store Manager of the Hohenwald Walmart, delivered the check to the Lewis County Buffalo River Blueway Committee and representatives from the South Central Tennessee Tourism Association.
The grant will focus on increasing community and economic development opportunities through tourism, as well as improving the quality of life for Lewis County residents by providing better access to recreational activities.
Specifically, the funds will be used to market and maintain the only county-owned public access point to the Buffalo River in Lewis County, which is located at the mouth of Grinder's Creek.
Lewis County Government will also be using part of the grant to host a "Family Fun Day" at this location on Saturday, May 20, 2023, from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., where they will be passing out free hotdogs, chips and drinks, as well as other door prizes.
