Its houses and other struc- > natures are considered adaptable I ?for public recreation purposes and | ? will serve as the nuclous of the | ? proposed state park development. ?This will be the first state park in ?this westernmost part of North ?Carolina. In addition to providing hous- 1 ing accommodations for vacation- 1 ists. picnic areas, boat dock ser vices and other attractions, the North Carolina Division of Fores try and Parks is authorized by the lease to establish a fishing boat dock on TVA's Apalachia Lake, just below Hiwassee Dam. if such a facility is found desirable. Both Apalachia and Hiwassee Lakes have become increasingly popular with fishermen, and development of Hiwassee Dam Village as a state park will afford an oppor tunity to provide recreational ac commodations that sportsmen have been seeking in this area. Before obtaining the village by | lease, North Carolina park offi- 1 cials prepared a preliminary | master plan of proposed expan- 1 sion. This plan will servo .;s a guide to the park's development, especially during the three-year initial period of the lease. After three years, the lease is auto matically renewable for an ad ditional 1G years, if public demand and use have demonstrated the need for the village and surround ing lakeshore acreage as a state park. About 30 of the 63 housing units in the village will be reserved for an indefinite period for oc cupancy by employees of the U. S Navy Ordnance Laboratory at Hiwassee Dam, and TVA person nel stationed in the area for opera tion of powerhouses and mainten ance of TVA properties. North Carolina Symphony at Practice.
