National Highway progress and area transformations noted
The Rutherfordton to Chimney Rock highway advances with sand clay surfacing and plans for hard surfacing, promising a two week turnover. Hendersonville bypass and new summer homes appear as the road improves. Rutherfordton rebuilds downtown with brick stores and expanded Iso-Thermal Hotel addition. Forest City features a new concrete core, three panel parks, and a pronounced parking layout amid green spaces and trees.
