Watauga helps tweetsie

Zoning & Politics, blowing rock, boone — EDITOR on May 6, 2008 at 12:00 am

Watauga County and Tweetsie Railroad are exploring a proposal that would keep the Wild West theme park at its current location “for the next 50 years and beyond.”

Watauga planning director Joe Furman, who is acting economic developer for the county, presented a proposal to the commissioners Monday in which the county would buy land to support the theme park in exchange for a long-term commitment to keep the business operating.

Here’s the article from the Watauga Democrat
