From the source Web site: "It is almost impossible to speak of the history of Carter County without mentioning the impact that the Bemberg and N.A.R.C facilities once had on our area. As you drive along West Elk Avenue in Elizabethton, the northern skyline is outlined with the smoke stack and empty shell that represented the largest employers that have ever called Carter County home." // source: http://www.cartercountyhistory.com/bemberg-and-narc.html
