Mayor Kay Summers Talks Recovery, Growth, and the Future of Clendenin

I talk with Mayor Kay Summers at the ribbon cutting for the Riverview Complex and hear her talk about how important this moment is for Clendenin. She tells me about the long recovery since the 2016 flood and how it took years to bring back schools, a grocery store, and basic services. I listen as she explains how the old school building became apartments, a clinic, a business incubator, and space for the library. She describes the work of 25045 and the broader effort to support economic development. I ask what visitors can do in town and she walks me through Main Street, the stage, the trails, the river, and the local shops. She tells me a new restaurant is coming and explains how easy it is to reach Clendenin from the interstate. She shares where people can find updates through the website, Facebook page, and town hall. I close the conversation by thanking her and inviting listeners to explore what Clendenin offers.
