Crewmembers from Allison Contractors out of Hendersonville dig to plant a new row of trees along Hwy. 108 in Columbus. The Town of Columbus and Polk County Appearance Commission received funding from the Polk County Community Foundation and N.C. Department of Transportation (N.C. DOT) to plant trees along the right-of-way on Hwy. 108 from the I-26 interchange to Walker Street. This project is designed to improve the aesthetic entryway into Columbus. (photo by Samantha Hurst)
