HR 14 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Regarding the Feasibility Study for a Connector Road at Beech Fork Lake

HR 14 is a House Resolution requesting Wayne County Commission to allocate up to $10,000 for a feasibility study on a connector road between Beech Fork State Park campground and marina. The resolution urges collaboration with the KYOVA Interstate Planning Commission, which has pledged $90,000 (90% of study costs) if the county provides the 10% match. It does not fund the road construction but seeks to evaluate the project's viability to potentially boost tourism, improve emergency response times, and support local economic development in Wayne County.
