Great Smokies get more Stimulus Act money
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park has received $12.2 million in additional stimulus fund money to improve hiker parking areas and resurface two roads, the Knoxville News Sentinel reported last week.
The extra money will be used to pave the Foothills Parkway-East, the Smokemont Campground and the Heintooga Ridge Road, and to create new hiker parking lots and repave the roads leading to the popular Little River and Jakes Creek Trails in the Elkmont area.
The park has received a total of $77.5 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds, the newspaper said.
