Elevate Mitchell is a community-driven initiative to create a shared vision and strategic roadmap that guides decision-making and enhances quality of life across Mitchell County. The action plan seeks to expand outdoor recreation, highlight arts and culture, foster economic growth, and ensure long-term sustainability.
Launched by the Mitchell County Tourism Development Authority (TDA)—established in 2022 to steward occupancy tax revenues from visitors—the effort channels strategic investment into quality-of-life projects. By strengthening local assets, bolstering tourism infrastructure, and creating engaging experiences, the TDA aims to attract visitors while enriching everyday life for residents.
As Mitchell County continues to recover from the devastating impacts of Hurricane Helene in September 2024, Elevate Mitchell will serve as a catalyst for resilience—helping to build a stronger county that honors its natural beauty, creative spirit, and cultural heritage.
