Griffith added, “This ARC grant for $700,000 helps Sunset Holler, Inc. boost regional tourism and support the local economy of deep Southwest Virginia.”
Sunset Holler, Inc. is collaborating with the Buchanan County Industrial Development Authority to redevelop the Southern Gap area. The project will include installing a mobile stage, seating, restrooms and administrative buildings, parking facilities, landscaping, and connection to local utilities.
