Hopefully everyone coming into downtown Hayesville via Highway 64 Business has noticed work taking place at the former butcher shop close to Main and Herbert streets. Jeff Southerland is managing the early construction to rehab the building for a new restaurant opening later this year. The rehabilitation of the building was made possible by a Community Block Development Grant of $200,000 available through the Small Town Main Street Solutions Fund. Hayesville has been in the STMS program since 2013 with several exclusive qualifications allowing Mayor Harry Baughn to apply for and secure rehab funds for this downtown landmark.
