McRae is washed and polished after a major clean-up effort, according to Mayor Kenneth Strayhorn.
    Part of the effort included a "home grant," through which the city remodeled 14 homes in "phase two." During the next phase, they will finish the 20 houses still on the waiting list.
    Some of these houses has never had air conditioning, and none had central heat. These homes were weatherized and carpeted through the $333,000 grant.
    City council members are completing plans this month to build a park behind city hall.
Other projects under the clean-up included trash collection in yards and the mowing of vacant lots.
    The town has attracted significant growth, and more is to come, as a new subdivision will eventually provide homes for close to 40 people.

    There are 17 volunteer firemen in the community who work under Chief Bill Bowman.
