Warren County weighs campground and events center proposal
Warren County supervisors will hold a 7 p.m. public hearing at the government center on plans to open a campground and rural events center on Gooney Manor Loop and Wellspring Road. Edwin Wright seeks permits for operations on his Gooney Manor Loop farm and his sister’s Wellspring Road property, with neighbors opposing similar requests in November. The plan reduces campsites from 100 to 50 with a 200 person event center, and the supervisors may table or act on the proposals amid traffic, fire, water, noise and crime concerns.
