Southside Bridge in Elizabethton named for Staff Sgt John R Clark

ELIZABETHTON — A crowd made up of family members and friends as well as city and county associates gathered at the newly built bridge across Gap Creek on Southside Road on Thursday morning to name the bridge for Staff Sgt. John R. Clark. Elizabethton Mayor Curt Alexander led the unveiling of the road sign bearing Clark’s name and spoke of Clark’s community leadership. Family members expressed appreciation to the city for the honor and said it was appropriate because Clark had crossed the bridge every day on his way to and from work. He lived in the Southside community nearly all of his life, except for the time he went away to fight.

Elizabethton and Carter County discuss developing Hampton Watershed bike trails

ELIZABETHTON — The further development of a mountain bike riding park brought together leaders from Elizabethton and Carter County on Wednesday afternoon for an exploratory session. Over the past several years, Elizabethton has slowly developed a small system of bike trails in a 238-acre hilly watershed property the city owns in Hampton. Although the property is several miles from Elizabethton, the city owns it because the springs flowing in the area provide over half of the city’s drinking water. The watershed above the springs were purchased to protect the area from development and pollution. The city’s Parks and Recreation Department has begun developing mountain bike trails on the property, and has expanded the trails by renting 52.75 acres of undeveloped land from adjacent Doe River Gorge Ministries. The result is the potential development of several miles of bike trail on elevations ranging from 1,800 feet to 3,100 feet that could be made into loops easy enough
