I think we owe it to Betty Perrin NeSmith to carry her vision into the future. Who's with us?

I have a dream. A dream of Tarboro as a prosperous town. A dream of attractive shops and interesting eateries. A dream of a thriving community. A dream of a future created with integrity and innovation. A dream of our town setting the example for other small towns to follow. Where visitors come to enjoy and stay to share the dream.

Betty Perrin Nesmith peacefully left this world at about 3:15 this morning. This is a great loss for the community and all the people who knew and loved her. Memorial service details coming later.

We have a dream, a vision for turning a neglected building into a thriving community hub that not only adds to the vibrance and beauty of our downtown, but gives back to our community in many ways.
