Letcher — The Town and Kountry Kids Blue Group received a $3,500 grant from the Central Electric Cooperative Operation Round-Up program for a playground area.
The playground area is being constructed next to the expanded community center. Prior to this area, children were playing close to the road and cars. Also, the area had been an undeveloped space on Letcher’s Main Street. The new fence and rock add an aesthetic appeal to the heart of town.
In addition to the Operation Round-Up grant, the project received funding from the City of Letcher and community support during fundraising events.
