Ever since Ben and Erin Napier of the hit series Home Town helped transform Laurel, Mississippi, fans from small towns across America have flooded HGTV with requests to take on the reno of their home town. Now they will get their shot at a life-changing, whole-town overhaul.<\/p>\n<p>Through Tuesday, February 4, anyone who loves their own home town can log on to <a href=\"http:\/\/HGTVHomeTownTakeover.com\">HGTVHomeTownTakeover.com<\/a> to show, tell and sell the network on why their small town, with its historic architecture and classic main street, should be the one town featured in the upcoming event series <strong><em>Home Town Takeover<\/em><\/strong>. With Ben and Erin leading the charge, the selected town, with a population less than 40,000, will witness the rehab of multiple individual family homes and the revitalization of public spaces, such as parks, local diners and recreation centers. And, the town will be featured in Home Town Takeover (fka <em>Home Town Rescue<\/em>), a six-episode series slated to premiere on HGTV in 2021.<\/p><div id=\"morty-730742174\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;This is a big one,&#8221; said Erin. &#8220;HGTV has never, ever taken on a whole town renovation and restoration project and we&#8217;re so proud and excited to be leading the team that will get it done.
