Ask most people who live in and around Elkins, Ark. about our core values and you will hear words like “community”, “diversity”, and “we help each other.” As we grow, we want those core values to remain. To make that possible, we need to discover, secure, and leverage available resources, information, and opportunities that will sustain and improve the quality of life for Elkins-area residents.
