Lookout Shoals hydro project held up by land prices
The Southern Power Company planned a $1,000,000 hydroelectric development at Lookout Shoals on the Catawba River near Statesville, with delays blamed on high land prices. W. S. Lee confirmed company interest and road plans, noting sand clay roads as preferable, while landowners ask steep sums, including Dr. J. H. Yount’s 18 acres priced at $75,000 though valued by him at a half million to the company.
