2021 "Round Up for the Greenway" Event Raises over $150,000
The third-annual “Round Up For the Greenway” succeeded in raising over $150,000 for the Middle Fork Greenway (MFG) in July. During the month-long event, local businesses asked patrons to “round up” their purchases as a donation to the project, and many individuals also contributed. These donations will go towards greenway construction, which will connect Boone to Blowing Rock. The greenway is a project of Blue Ridge Conservancy (BRC), in partnership with Watauga County, the Town of Blowing Rock, and the Town of Boone.
