After selling our Chavies year round facility in 2020, we are excited to be back in Perry County and serving this wonderful community. ASP was devastated by the impact of the flooding in Perry County in Summer 2022 and we are committed to serving those that were impacted with this new partnership out of the old Leatherwood School building!
