WHAT ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY STORM SHELTER?

As you first read in this blog in 2011, Elkmont is getting a community safe room or storm shelter.  This is to be built on Sandlin Road across from Sandlin Road.You may have wondered what its status is.

Elkmont's shelter was applied for in 2009 but the process for federal grants is very slow.  It was finally approved in 2013 and dirt work began a few months ago but due to weather it got bogged down.  


However, it has picked up steam in the last few weeks.  Hopefully, it will be done for the fall severe weather season.
