Advisory Council

A project of this magnitude requires the involvement of many leaders throughout the 15-county region. The planning organizations have sought and are seeking the input of a broad cross-section of county and municipal staff members, civic leaders and elected officials. The Carolina Thread Trail Advisory Council is a group of dedicated community leaders who provide invaluable guidance to The Thread staff members.
