Water power project eyed at Elk River site
In a letter to the editor, readers discuss hydro electric development at the Elk River site near Banner Elk North Carolina. Proposals include a dam forming a 69 to 75 acre reservoir, two power estimates of 1000 horsepower, and a plan to create an elite trout fish lake with European brown and Dolly Varden varieties. The Elk River Power and Development Company already uses the land for farming and grazing, noting solid rock foundations and abundant sand gravel for dam construction. The writer promotes regional benefits and natural beauty, envisioning Banner Elk as a premier mountain pleasure resort.
