Today marks the end of the first week of clean up in downtown Clarkesville. Crews are clearing out the debris from inside the burned out historic buildings on the east side of the Square.
The buildings burned in a fire on March 5, 2014.
The City of Clarkesville contracted with the local construction firm of Blake Rainwater and Associates to clean up and shore up the buildings.
Parking downtown is at a premium as a dumpster now fills many of the spaces on the east side of town. Work is expected to continue through the end of March; the contractor has sixty days to complete the project.
