Falls Mills plan seeks state approval for recreation area
Falls Mills Virginia awaits final state approval on a plan to convert 327 acres near Falls Mills Dam into a public recreation area. Delegate John Tate notes the proposal envisions a state park style facility with swimming and bath facilities, akin to Hungry Mother’s Park, and may add a new county water source. The Tazewell County Board of Supervisors also urged state acquisition of the dam and lake, while negotiations with Bluewell Public Service District cover emergency water needs. Tate cites planning standards showing District 2 lacking recreational land and includes nearby officials in discussions.
