An opportunity for home improvement!

Carthage homeowners get grants for renovations The Carthage Economic Development Corporation is offering matching grants to homeowners for exterior renovation projects aimed at improving curb appeal.

It's Restoration Carthage Week! Our biggest volunteer work day of the year comes Saturday, Sept. 26th!

From 8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., we'll come together with helpers to assist Carthage residents in need of TLC on their homes!

This year, we have 7 houses selected. If you'd like to volunteer, you can sign up here: https://shorturl.at/nV074

What kind of impact does this make?

"Thank you for sending a team to make my place better," said Lora Waring, a recipient of the program in 2025. "They finished what I requested, then kept looking for more to do! Very thoughtful and good work."
