     The Black Mountain Beautification Committee would like to thank all applicants for the 2020 Seed Money grants. The interest to help make Black Mountain even more beautiful and serve the community is inspiring! Jean Chamberlain, chairperson for the Seed Money subcommittee says “It was a very challenging decision as we try to review the applications with a mind as to how the available monies can best be used, and  how they fit in to our mission statement. This year’s applicants had wonderful proposals and we encourage them and others to apply for awards in 2021.”
