Carter County Commission votes down $3.5 million bid for countywide communications system


ELIZABETHTON — In a special called meeting on Monday evening, the Carter County Commission soundly voted down a bid of $3,428,687.40 for a new countywide communications system that would have provided up-to-date radio communication for 10 agencies, including law enforcement, emergency medical services, and fire departments.

Carter Compassion Center moving forward in helping homeless in Carter County


ELIZABETHTON — A new organization is being set up in Carter County and Elizabethton to provide a one-stop resource center to meet the needs of the homeless population in the region.
The Carter Compassion Center received confirmation from the Internal Revenue Service last week that its 501 ( c ) 3 designation had been approved.
It was the latest step forward for a group that formed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic but which has still managed to maintain momentum in meeting its mission of ministering to the homeless.
It got its start a couple of years ago with an aim of the Health and Welfare Committee of the Carter County Commission to establish a joint task force of city and county groups to deal with the local homeless problem. ....
