Davie Officials Plan
Recreation Project
Preliminary plana are being
made by Davie County offi
cials to develop a major re
creational project The County
Planing Board met at 3 p.m.
Monday to select one of two
sites under consideration.
, The project was outlined
recently at the regular meet
ing of the Northwest Econo
mic Development Commission
at the Government Center in
Winston-Salem The commis
sion is the body that deals with
applications for federal aid to
Appalachia funds.
Indications are that Davie
County will seek federal funds
for the project both through
the Appalachia program and
through the Land and Water
The planing board visited
two sites Monday. One is near
the Clarksville community in
northwest Davie County- The
other is east of U. S. 64 near
the Fork community. Both sites
are on Dutchman's Creek.
Both sites are at locations
where flood control dams are
planed as part of the Dutch
man's Creek Watershed pro
ject The dams would create
lakes suitable for fishing,
water skiing, swimming and
boating.
One site is in the northwest
ern part of the county where
Liberty Church Road crosses
Dutchman's Creek. The site
would involve about 500 acres
and a lake already planned for
142 acres. However, conserva
tionists say the normal pool
can be increased to 213 acres
if needed for recreation.
The site would require relo
cation of a road, or building a
bridge, plus purchasing prop
erty from about 100 landown
ers.
The other site about three
miles east of Mocksville is
just north of U.S. 64. It would
be a 250-acre project with a
100-acre lake. Much of the
land is thought to be available
from the heirs of the late T.
Holt Haywood-
This site has the advantages
of being easier to reach and
being located closer to the
population center at Mocks
ville.
The northwestern site has an
advantage of providing a larg
er park and larger reservoir.
It also might provide better
camping areas.
The board plans to meet
with the Clarksville Ruritan
Club before announcing a de
cision. Members of the plan
ning board include Rufus
Brock, Elbert Smith, S. C.
Robertson, Richard Beck, Ward
Setzer and Wade Dyson.
Another Davie County pro
ject discussed at the commis
sion meeting was the possible
development of Rick Park, a
recreational area in Mocks
ville. The land has been used
as a park for several years
and now includes a baseball
park.
However, county officials are
considering improving the 37-
acre park with the aid of Ap
palachia and Land and Water
Conservation funds.
The commissioners also dis
cussed an application by school
officials for $328,000 in Appla
chia funds for vocational edu
cation facilities for North Sur
ry High School at Toast. But
this figure will likely be
amended by state Appalachia
fund coordinators in Raleigh,
Matthews said.
