A T. S. Power Plant Investment and New River Facility
About 1914 the Appalachian Training school installed its first power plant powering Boone and Blowing Rock with electric lights. A newer plant between Boone and Blowing Rock on New River has operated well since fall, delivering power day and night except Sundays. A dam 24 feet high feeds a 1850 foot flume delivering 113 feet of fall to the plant. The river’s ordinary flow could run the plant with storage dams considered. Also noted is the death of Mr. Allen Greene of Meat Camp township aged over 70 and burial in Meat Camp.
