Cleanup in Lynchburg: what shapes the work
Because the city and county are one government, law enforcement across Lynchburg and the rest of Moore County is handled by the Moore County Sheriff's Office, based on Elm Street in town.
The distillery makes Lynchburg a visitor destination even though Moore County itself is dry, so the small square sees a steady flow of tour groups, short-term rentals and shops. Outside town, the county is farmland and older rural homes on wells and septic systems, where an incident in a house or outbuilding may need attention to crawlspaces and water sources as well as living areas.
