rom expanding bike paths and walking trails that link neighborhoods and nearby cities to preserving historic landmarks and maintaining strong community ties, connectivity fuels the focus of the Town of Cramerton. “Over the past decade-plus, we took a look to the past and how can we look to things that were positive in the past and link to the future,” said City Manager David Pugh. Cramerton’s past as a mill town steeped in community spirit has helped guide many of the moves town residents and leaders have made, including recent renovations to Rocky Branch and Central Parks. At Central Park, trails meandering along a gentle stream as well as a community garden give visitors plenty of opportunities to visit and exercise, while expanded bike trails at Rocky Branch Park now connect the town to nearby Belmont. “Central Park is fully complete and that looks absolutely amazing,” Pugh said. “You are able to use walkability and bike-ability to get to both Cramerton and Belmont.”
