Parkway Not In Competition With Private Firms
National Park director Arno B. Cammerer told Representative Weaver that Blue Ridge Parkway travel facilities in Virginia and North Carolina are not to compete with private interests. He noted inquiries about gasoline stations and tourist accommodations along the 400 mile route and said the policy aims to avoid duplicating adequate nearby services. Cammerer added that overnight lodging may be provided at a few points and that there are no funds currently available. When constructed, any gasoline stations or coffee shops would likely be leased to individuals or firms.
