Deal Made to Save Land along Blue Ridge Parkway |
|
In Little Switzerland, an agreement has been established to save 1,488 acres along the Blue Ridge Parkway in McDowell County for the sake of conserving the land, views, jobs, and of course the history. The deal was finalized by the Conservation Trust for North Carolina on Monday for an alleged $3.67 million:
"The tract near Little Switzerland is the third-largest piece of land the conservation group has protected along the parkway. In total, the group has protected more than 30,000 acres in more than 40 locations along the 469-mile national park. . ."
