Clarksville launches Restoring Clarksville Initiative

The Restoring Clarksville Initiative, a new task force established by Clarksville Mayor Joe Pitts, has hit its first milestone, assisting in the demolition of two abandoned properties along Fort Campbell Boulevard. Led by Ward 2 City Councilman Deanna McLaughlin, the initiative brings a proactive, community-driven approach to restoring economic and aesthetic value to Clarksville neighborhoods in need of assistance. Goals of the initiative include improving aesthetics and public safety as well as economic benefits to neighborhoods. The program involves multiple city departments to revitalize neglected areas, improve lighting, remove abandoned structures, restoring and rehabilitating existing properties, and targeting community resources.
