Campbellton Browntown Development Council Seeking To Replace Roof

The Campbellton Browntown Development Council, Inc. (CBDC) is currently working to replace the roof of its historically significant building. The building is a local landmark that represents the coming together of the local citizens to form a stronger bond and create a sense of community in the rural area. The CBDC aims to keep that commitment to the community alive with initiatives and programs that support the community through the mission and purpose of the organization.

It all began with a handful of local farmers entering a corn growing contest and winning a $500.00 award, back in the early 1960s. Those farmers decided to combine some of their own money with the winnings to purchase land that they could use to build a local park. They purchased five acres located at the current site, on Parkview Road off Highway 2.
