Hillsville council weighs RV park proposal

At a recent meeting, the Hillsville Town Council heard a pitch to create an RV park on a property bordered by Little Reed Island Creek and Water Plant Road. Town Engineer Steven Bowman noted the town lacks zoning for an RV park, requiring a special use permit, and that extending water and sewer lines is feasible. Developer Doug Brinkley proposed 40 RV sites initially, with potential expansion to 200, and floated converting a barn into a restaurant. No action was taken; the plan has not yet gone to the Planning Commission.
