Breaks park plans more development in Ky.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky gateway, road improvements, trail shelters and additional campsites could be coming to Breaks Interstate Park in the future.

Those are some of the developments included in a proposed master plan being considered by park officials. The Appalachian News-Express (http://bit.ly/1vnUh81) reports the park is holding a meeting on Monday to distribute information and get public input about the plan before it is finalized next year.

The park, which encompasses 4,800 acres, lies on the Kentucky-Virginia border and is supported by both states.

Breaks Superintendent Austin Bradley says the plan reflects requests for more development on the Kentucky side of the park.

The meeting will be held at the Breaks Conference Center in Virginia.

Written comments are also being accepted through Jan. 8 and should be sent to lynn.crump@dcr.virginia.gov.
