Whitmire Eyes Donut Hole Plan For Jobs In DuPont Forest
State Rep. Chris Whitmire sees the 400 acre DuPont State Forest donut hole as a potential job producer and economic catalyst. Plans call for a first responder training facility by the old X ray film plant site plus recreation, an educational academy for at risk youth, and a military style Challenge Academy idea funded largely by the National Guard. He notes 53.5 percent of Transylvania County land is public and more land moving to state ownership could challenge local economies, but the project could add jobs and improve safety for outdoor enthusiasts.
